Summer vacation is a time for fun and exploration. Do you remember when you were a kid? School was off and you had seemingly endless amounts of time to just be free. The long hot days when you strike out with your friends and explore in the woods. Or the adventure that awaits from finding new places that amaze you. We really believe that those times do not have to fade away with memory but can be found in the everyday life. When you adventure you awake that child in you that is exhilarated by the wonder found in our world. One such place to capture your sense of awe is this swimming hole in East Tennessee.
Blue Hole Falls lives up to its name as a beautiful little waterfall into a swimming hole.
Alexis Butler/ Alltrails The water is crystal clear and simply very blue. The shimmering waters of the Blue Hole Falls swimming hole give the illusion that you have stumbled upon a fairytale.
The path getting down is steep and not recommended for anyone with bad knees. That being, said it is a 0.4-mile out-and-back trail with 85 feet of elevation gain and rated as easy.

Once you have made it down the path and down the stairs you are greeted with this beautiful waterfall.

The swimming hole goes down about 15 feet and the waterfall itself is 25 feet.
Abby Parker/ Alltrails This is a small pool and a small waterfall but is a playground for many to cool off in the summer and take a dip in the blue water.
Many people will climb up the rocks and jump down into the pool below, which is a fun way to cap off this adventure.
