I went two years ago with a few friends and it was amazing! There’s an area where families can sit on rocks and eat, a shallow spot for kids to safely swim, and a rock you can jump off of into the water. The rock jump is my favorite part. It’s about a 5 or 6 foot drop but the worst injury I’ve heard of that happened was when I barley scraped a toe. 10/10 would definitely go here again!

We took our 14 and 10 year old children here and it's phenomenal! It's an easy trail that follows along the river. There are two spots going toward the Lower Falls where you can get in the water and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. The swimming hole is fairly large and we were only able to get the kids out of the water, after two hours, due to an impending thunderstorm. Recommend going early and avoid weekends and holidays. Well worth the beautiful drive through Pisgah National Forest and the Blue Ridge Parkway.
