This pool area contains pretty much the biggest waterslide around! 300 feet long and 30 feet tall. But don't worry, there is a Little Smugglers' Lagoon and Mini-Waterslide for the little ones or those adults less adventurous and brave. Of course there is the huge Mountainside pool as well. All that sliding will leave you a very hungry so head over to the Mountainside Cabana to fill those bellies. Located near the entrance to the Resort and near the West Hill Community.
Notchville Park:
3 pools all on different levels, plus the Notchville Twister 140 foot waterslide- oh boy! The Park also offers sand volleyball croquet, a picnic area, and a climbing tower. Located at the end of a private path, higher up on the Resort near Trailside Executives lodging.
Courtside Pool:
This pool area has more of a country club atmosphere, so the kids can swim while you relax in a lounge chair in the sun. Also a great place to bring the little ones swimming as there is a wading pool. Don't forget the hot tubs, and how about some tennis- 8 clay courts and 2 indoor courts. Located in SmuggsCentral near the Village East Community.
Rum Runner's Hideaway:
Located a quick 10 minute hike from the Resort, this escape is what summer in Vermont is all about. It's a 6 acre reservoir on Morse Mountain. You can swim, fish, rent a canoe, or just picnic.
