Go for a Swim at Hamilton Pool Preserve

Don't come here expecting to see the waterfall or go under the rocks, the ranger said he hasn't seen the waterfall in years. I'm so bummed at the state of this place. It was so amazing when I went years ago but it's changed so much. I honestly don't think it's worth the visit between the price, lack of waterfall, and not being able to go under the rocks the experience was disappointing. I hope one day it will be restored to its former glory!

If you want to visit this place don't forget to make a reservation before, because Pool is very popular. Also, bring a cash (8$ per person) because they don't accept card. The trail to the pool is short but can be difficult if you forget about good hydration. The trail under the grotto is closed because of the risk of falling rocks, but you can swim in the pool.

Beautiful natural falls and pool. Check online for availability, limited access to increase your experience. And Deborah at the gate helped me straighten out my reservation.

Nice little hiking trail. Only 1.25 miles even if you go to the river so don't come here for marathon prep. The pool is OK clean, the park always lets you know if the water quality is acceptable. 80F in the summer 49F in the winter. The trail under the ledge is closed because it's said to be at risk of coming down any moment so swim at your own risk!

Awesome spot! It's about a 8 minute hike to the pool , no pavement, very rocky so be ready, restroom available, beautiful scenery. No access to the cave or water due to hazardous and water level of bacteria was high. There was a man there sharing some awesome information about fossils and animals seen there w skeletons remains. Overall a very nice experience! Don't forget to make your reservation online and take cash for an additional charge per person to get in.
