About this swimming hole
The Neversink River Unique Area gives public access to one of New York’s most pristine rivers, where informal swimming holes exist along its course. Note that many of the river’s swimming holes sit on private or restricted public property, so stay on state Unique Area lands. The river is narrow, rocky, and cold — classic Catskills wild swimming.
