Ohmygod. There’s a 50-foot waterfall here. And that’s just one of many reasons why Hamilton Pool is worth the 30-minute drive (and the subsequent quarter-mile walk from the parking lot – bring decent shoes). This superlative swimming hole is gorgeous, beautiful, pretty, and the opposite of an eyesore.

I always pretend I’m in the movie “Teeth”.
just don’t go on a weekend or during the week if kids aren’t in school. it gets so packed that it’s really hard to enjoy. think public pool on a saturday afternoon in the middle of july next door to an elementary school.
