Dive and Swim
Less than 1/2 a mile down the road from the Monkey Rock waterfall, Hog Hollow Bridge is a favorite spot for adrenaline junkies to cool off. The place to jump is off the East side of the bridge where it's deeper. It's about a 25 foot jump, depending on the water level. Always be careful of fast moving water, as well as rocks and debris below the surface.
CAUTION: This jump is from an active roadway so please be careful and considerate of drivers. They do have the right of way on the bridge and the road is often traveled by large trucks who will have difficulty stopping for a swimmer that decides to run out in front of them while they're crossing a bridge.
PLEASE NOTE: Ton the roads leading to the Hog Hollow Bridge, the speed limit is 35 mph for the last mile. There are kids, cows, horses, and dogs along that road and many people tend to speed going to and from Monkey Rock. Slow down and stay safe.
