Description

Our good friend Sarah Lamagna has been busy finding the best places for us to swim this summer!

Swimming Holes New England focuses on off-the-beaten path swimming holes across the six states that make up New England. Get away from the typical beaches that are scattered throughout the New England coast line and enjoy the wilderness that blankets a large majority of the area with these hidden swimming areas. With so many people flocking to the outdoors these days, it's not easy to find more secluded spots to dip your toes in the water. This book provides the best places to not only find a perfect spot to cool off from the humid summers, but also places to find a bit solitude.

Look inside to find:

  • How to get to the swimming spot
  • Hiking time, difficulty, trail surface, and elevation gain
  • Water temperature and land status
  • Maps and GPS coordinates
  • If dogs are allowed
  • Trail safety
  • Leave No Trace principles
