Worlds End State Park - Loyalsock Creek Swimming Area
Creek · Pennsylvania
About this swimming hole
A small dam on Loyalsock Creek creates the swimming area at this mountain park, which runs Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day, sunrise to sunset, at your own risk. Steep Loyalsock Canyon walls rise above the day-use area. Swim inside the dam-created pool rather than the rocky riverbed, which has dangerous footing.
