Swim

OK - this is one of the very best swimming holes in the US! It is beautiful, legal, safe and exciting. Kids love it, you can dive off a high board into a deep pool at the foot of a huge waterfall, swim behind the waterfall and all with lifeguards on duty. Beautiful falls with official swimming in pool below the falls. Diving board, lifeguards, safe and spectacular. This is a premier natural swimming place for the whole family.

Also, hike the "Gorge Trail" (aka Enfield Glen) above the falls through a post-glacial gorge to 115 foot high Lucifer Falls. Fantastically beautiful!...Courtesy of swimmingholes.org
