Swimming at Fall Creek Falls
Swimming Pool

The Olympic size swimming pool is in the Taft Village
Area of the park.  Lifeguards are on duty, and a bath
house is available.  2 diving boards are situated on
the deep end of the pool, and a kiddie pool is
available for the little ones.  Plenty of lounge chairs
and a the poolside snack bar make this a great place
to relax.  The pool is open seasonally, from Memorial
Day to Labor day.  

Cascades

The swimming hole below the Cane Creek Cascades is
a great place to cool off on a hot day.  A nice plunge
pool is deep enough for swimming, and a natural
"slide" comes off of part of the lower cascades, and
you can sit under small waterfalls as the water flows
over you.   Caution is of the utmost here.... there are
no lifeguards on duty,  the water is moving, and many
rocks are both above and below the surface.  
The Cascades can be accessed by a short trail from
the Nature Center.

George hole swimming Area

Another swimming area is located just north of the
campgrounds.  Picnic tables, grills, a picnic pavillion, a
swinging bridge, and a nice grassy area make this area
very inviting.  The creek is dammed to create the pool
for swimming.  There is a concrete wall and sidewalk
along the waters edge to provide access to the water.  
While some adventurous types will jump off of the
cliffs into the water, this is not recommended, and the
depth of the water varies and no lifeguards are on
duty.  Jumping off of the swinging bridge is also
prohibited.  

Cane Creek Falls Plunge Pool

This is one of our favorite places to swim at the park,
but it is the least accessible.  To get to the deep
plunge pool below the Cane Creek Falls, you must
hike the Cable Trail, which is accessed by the Nature
Center.  While this trail is short, it is very steep and
rocky.  A cable runs the length of the trail to provide a
measure of support for hikers.  This area is isolated,
so use extreme caution when hiking and swimming in
this area.
