At ~3000 feet, this popular swimming hole has a refreshing 15 foot waterfall and cliff diving off the surround rock cliffs, into the 27 foot deep pool. Can’t say I’d do this dive more than once, but it sure paid off the morning we dove it. Trout and crawdads are abundant. Watch surfacing under the continuous jumpers! As long as you’re at the bottom the jumpers will never get near you, so don’t surface where they jump.
