The hot summer temps have officially hit the Granite State, and more and a few of us are sweltering away miserably. But summer is meant to be enjoyed, not suffered through – so let’s do something about that! There’s one New Hampshire spot that is just plain magical, and you’ve got to add it to your summer bucket list.

If you're looking for the perfect place to swim this summer, look no further than Profile falls in Bristol, where a gorgeous waterfall creates the most perfect natural swimming pool.

You'll find the waterfall and its swimming hole off Profile Falls Road in Bristol. There's a parking lot, bathroom, and picnic tables above the falls where you can enjoy a nice scenic lunch.

The falls have a 25-foot drop, keeping the water in the pool below constantly turned over and fresh (and cool!)

It's no wonder that this is such a popular spot for locals and tourists alike on toasty summer days.

The pool can get murky after heavy rains, but most of the time it is clear and beautiful. You might even spot a few fish!

The water rushing down the crevices and cracks in the rock is just spectacular.

Profile Falls is off of Profile Falls Road, which branches off Route 3A in Bristol. Of course, swim at your own risk, and make sure to bring a buddy!
