About this swimming hole
A steep scramble down the embankment reveals a gem of a river hole with big shallow lounging pools and a natural water chute that pours into the main basin. Adventurous swimmers eye the side cliff that drops into a 20-foot-deep pool. The two-person jacuzzi-like pocket is a local legend.
