With summer heating up, it's time to venture outside and try natural swimming holes rather than traditional public pools. The article highlights six must-visit swimming spots, including the Homestead Crater in Utah, known for its unique geologic features, Hamilton Pool in Texas with its stunning jade pool and rich ecology, and Oneonta Falls in Oregon, where visitors must swim through the creek to reach the waterfall. These locations offer scenic beauty and allow for environmentally friendly outdoor enjoyment.
This natural swimming hole is known as the Homestead Crater. The caldera is 10,000 years in the making and contains extremely unique and impressive geologic features.
Thousands of years ago, the dome of an underground river collapsed to form a small, picturesque cave complete with a brilliant jade pool beneath a gushing waterfall.
Lower Oneonta Falls is preserved as a natural habitat, so there are no footpaths to follow. How do you get to this botanical beauty? You swim!
