Swim

Swimming places in creek, pool at bottom of falls and others nearby. A 6 miles hike, round trip, much on the AT and a good bit of elevation change to get there. Good if you are looking for a serious hike one day, but otherwise maybe not worth the hike as the swimming holes are not the most impressive.Courtesy of swimmingholes.org

Bathing suits: Optional - pretty remote
