About this swimming hole
Amnicon Falls State Park is a small, scenic park built around four waterfalls on the Amnicon River, including Upper, Lower, and Snake Pit Falls. There is no designated beach, but wading and swimming are allowed at your own risk, and locals cool off in the river pools below the falls. Summer brings swimmable water; spring snowmelt makes the river dangerously fast.
