Blue Hole Pigeon
LaFayette, Georgia
Swim
This report from a visitor in 2009: "It is about 4-5 feet deep in places, and perfect for 5-8 people to sit and chill. Children would love it. It is divided into two pools by a high seam of rock that is about two feet beneath the water's surface. There is a campground (primitive) sponsored by the state of GA about 1/8 of a mile away. It would be perfect for people who could bring food and books for a couple of days, and there is also spelunking near there. There is a covered bulletin board with info for spelunkers and admonishments against cruelty to the bat population (thankfully). You can drive beyond the campground and right up to spring (dirt parking). The road ends at the spring." Also:” There is a pretty big rock ledge around the deep area so everyone needs to be careful. Went with my family and there were 4 of us and 4 other people and we were kind of jammed for space."Courtesy of swimmingholes.org
