If you’ve never been to Hokah, Minnesota, it may be time for a visit. This little town has fewer than 1,000 residents, but there is still a lot to do there despite the small size. For one thing, it is located in the Bluff Country of southeastern Minnesota, right along the banks of the Root River. And if you’re ever in the area on a hot day, you may also be interested in one of the town’s other unique features: its spring-fed pool.

The Hokah Pool was built in 1968, and it still stands as a popular spot in Hokah today.
