About this swimming hole
Dunnfield Creek drops from the Kittatinny Ridge through a hemlock gorge in Worthington State Forest, pooling between cascades. An Appalachian Mountain Club-led hike describes a stop for a dip at a classic swimming-hole spot along the creek. The creek is a native brook-trout habitat, so keep clear of fishing lines and expect cold water.
