About this swimming hole
Dave's Falls County Park strings the Pike River through a rocky gorge of small cascades, with deep, clear pools below the falls that locals have swum for generations. Smooth-worn rock shelves make natural sunbathing ledges between dips. The county park setting keeps it accessible, with picnic areas right by the water.
