These 10 Waterfall Swimming Holes In Georgia Are Perfect For A Summer Day

If you head toward US 129 about 15 miles north of Cleveland, you're going in the right direction toward the Falls on Waters Creek, a beautiful waterfall in Georgia. Turns out there are three different falls located on Blood Mountain Stream, and this one might just be the coolest to take a dip in, in our opinion!

This water at Blue Hole Falls in Hiawassee, Georgia, is not only incredibly clear, it's also refreshing during those warm summer months. It is located just a few miles north of Helen, Georgia, and may be difficult to find, so use your GPS and don't forget to bring your swimsuit! This is a waterfall in Georgia worth seeking out.

Sea Creek Falls may just be the most hidden of all these waterfall swimming holes, but it definitely deserves some recognition. Good for all hiking skill levels, this trail clocks in at 0.5 miles out and back, and features a beautiful swimming hole. The waterfall is not the biggest by any means, and the depth of the swimming hole isn’t going to blow your mind, but what it lacks in stature it more than makes up for in accessibility and clarity -- it's some of the clearest water in the state! Plus, you can climb the side of the falls and find some peace and quiet within nature.

Bring a tube to this famed swimming hole and enjoy floating in the refreshing water at Edge of the World Falls in Dawsonville, Georgia. Disclaimer: What is traditionally called the Amicalola River Trail is known by the locals as the Edge of the World Trail, and indeed, this trek feels like something out of a fantasy. This three-mile trail winds through forests that feel wild and remote, with babbling streams and beguiling footbridges adding a fairytale ambiance to the experience. What awaits at the end of three miles is a stunning, clear-blue swimming hole surrounded by lush foliage that’s a true Georgia oasis. As such, it may be a bit crowded at first, but if you hike down away from the usual drop-in spot, you'll find more privacy and more empty pockets to swim in. 10/10, would recommend!

High Shoals Falls in Dallas, Georgia, is certainly not the most difficult waterfall to get to. Make sure you visit after a decent rain storm so that the falls has a bit more oomph and the water is higher than usual. Also, ignore the fact that the trail to the falls runs alongside an older graveyard. Please note: there is another "High Shoals Falls" in Georgia; you'll find it located in Hiawassee and yes, it's *another* waterfall swimming pool in the state!

We'll begin with a big disclaimer: this trail is not for the faint of heart. Hidden in the beautiful, lush landscape of the Cohutta Wilderness, it's easy to see why this remote waterfall isn't frequented as often. The hike alone is about nine miles roundtrip, which also seems to turn many people off. But once you're knee-deep in the Beech Bottom Trail, enjoying the rushing water of Jacks River, plus all the wildlife around you, the handful of miles it takes to get to the falls will seem like nothing. So if you're looking for more hike-a-lot-than-reward-yourself-with-a-swim-in-extremely-clear-Georgia-water type of waterfall swimming hole, then Jacks River Falls in Epworth, Georgia, will most certainly be the place.

You absolutely should bring the entire family for this one. Watson Mills Falls is located in the iconic Watson Mill Bridge State Park and has a ton of really cool attractions nearby. But many people, and families, frequent the river shoals to cool off during the summer months. How refreshing!
