About this swimming hole
A cave diver's cathedral with one of the longest explored underwater cave systems in the country, Peacock also hides a small, lovely swimming hole for everyone else. Two spring vents, a spring run, and six sinkholes thread through a quiet hardwood forest. Come for a dip and a shaded hike, and watch the dive teams gear up for the underworld.
