7 Great Summer Swimming Holes

Do you like the feeling of cool, refreshing water on your skin and the sights and sounds of nature all round you? You might like the list of seven swimming holes, I found in the June 2015 Better Homes & Gardens (pg. 153). Here they are:

1. Ohiopyle State Park, PA

I love that this place was listed first, because I’m a native Pennsylvanian. There’s awesome white-water rafting on the Youghiogheny, and Frank Loyd Wright’s Falling Water is in the neighborhood in addition to the waterfalls and swimming holes. dcnr.state.pa.us

2. Platte Cove, New York

3. Warren Falls, Vermont

4. Diana’s Baths, New Hampshire

5. Cape Cod Kettle Ponds, Massachusetts

6. The Ledges, Maine

7. Mount Tom State Park, Connecticut

There you have it. Seven swimming holes worth checking out. There’s still plenty of summer left, so go ahead. What are you waiting for?
