Looking for a sure-fire way to beat the summer heat? You don’t need a super-sized swimming pool or even a gigantic waterpark. Just hit the road and visit Bingham Falls. This waterfall-fed pool is an amazing swimming spot that is loaded with natural beauty. You’ll want to spend all day at this naturally dazzling place tucked away in the Vermont forest.
Bingham Falls has a breathtaking 40-foot cascade that releases a stunning spray into the pool below. The falls are maintained by the Stowe Land Trust and are a part of Mt. Mansfield State Forest.

The hike to reach this natural water playground is short, but it’s a little steep at the end. Just take your time and the pay-off is well worth it.
