About this swimming hole
Community-reported: Amity Creek along Duluth's Seven Bridges Road is the city's classic swimming-creek run, with pools and cascades strung between the historic stone-arch bridges. Locals favor the shallower pool below the sixth bridge, where the creek tumbles into a slide and a gravel beach. The much-talked-about Deeps near the first bridge is a cliff-jumping spot with a dangerous reputation.
