Glacial Potholes, photos and information

These natural outdoor "swimming pools" were several hundred million years in the making--how fascinating to contemplate the fact that the last Ice Age left behind an attraction to rival our modern, multi-million dollar water amusement parks. Well, okay, the Potholes may not hold quite the excitement of a high-speed log flume, but if you're looking to dip your toes into some cool water after a day of seeing the sights of Shelburne Falls or driving the 63-mile Mohawk Trail, you'll find the Glacial Potholes right in the heart of town at the end of Deerfield Avenue.
