The Huntington Gorge is widely known as the most deadly swimming hole in New England. Numerous signs along the parking area list individuals who have died here. Most deaths have been from drowning in high water when dangerous currents can easily pull even strong swimmers down. I came here on a mid summer day when the water was very low to explore this pool and find out what makes it so dangerous. If you're thinking of swimming here, don't ever go when the river is high or murky!

I worked Richmond rescue for yrs and pulled a few body’s out of this hole including two the same day one was a VT state trooper from the dive team the other a young man. I grew up,close to this place we swam hear often and new when to and not to. Most of us stay to the lower pool below the hole as we call it. Not a place to go if you don’t know it. RIP all those who tried and did not make it.

Two friends from college, (first names on the sign), Brian Graham from Bronxville NY, Robert Grady from Colorado Springs Colorado, died here in 1969. R.I.P.

I went to CVU in the 90’s, and we would go swimming there all the time. Mostly jump in at tripple buckets and trek up to the falls from there. Always felt safe, but we didn’t go until late spring, early summer when the water was lower. Saw accidents when people slipped, or misjudged a jump and hit rocks.

You are so brave! I jumped a couple times when the bubbles came out of those dark holes! Might hit East Middlebury, gorge today! That place looks awesome. Great video
