Frenchman's Hole: (Swimming) Coming from the south on the Sunday River Road, the road will veer left to pass over two bridges. After the bridges, take your first right. On Google maps this is called Bull Branch Road, but it might not be marked. On this road you should see a small sign with a swimming icon that says,” .5 miles,” and a larger sign that says, “Mahoosic Public Land.” Continue on until you see a small parking lot on the left. Park and walk back down the road from the way you came, and you’ll see a couple of picnic tables, and then a line of rocks.

Rugged gorge that's just steps away from the parking lot. Swift River has sliced through a tough layer of rock. Difficult to imagine, but thundering waters, sand and gravel, have carved this small canyon over an incredibly long period of time. In the riverbed of sand and gravel amateur rock hounds may find tourmaline, garnet, quartz, lepidolite, feldspars, aquamarine and flakes of gold. Also, know for cliff jumping into narrow river gorge it is a must see!
