This state park is popular, but for good reason. The sandy beach and facilities make this a perfect swimming hole for families.

The Sacco River is super popular with swimmers, floaters, and boaters, and First Bridge is where is all begins.

Nothing is better than swimming in a waterfall, and Diana's Baths provide some of the most beautiful swimming opportunities in the state.

Don't be scared off by the name. The Swift River is an extremely popular place, with multiple swimming holes with easy access off the Kancamagus Highway.
