The Bolton Potholes has been called one of the most beautiful swimming holes in New England. Here, Joiner Brook falls a vertical distance of about 50 feet through several falls separated by round pools carved out of solid rock by the movement of water and sand.
Joiner Brook drains a significant portion of the mountain that hosts the four-season Bolton Valley Resort. The Brook is subject to large changes in water flow with rainfall and/or melting snow. As little as a quarter inch of rain can bring the water levels up from comfortable to very hazardous. When the water is high, the currents can be deadly, make no mistake.
If you choose to enter the water, do so with care and advance knowledge of where the rocks may lie beneath the surface. There are very nice shallows at the top and bottom of the falls, the lower featuring a small family friendly beach area.
If you decide to stay and enjoy the area, some good Geocacher CITO would be greatly appreciated.
