Just 25 minutes North of Asheville,
Been swimming here since I was a kid. The owners are nice but they don't like when ppl carelessly leave trash everywhere which is understandable. I still go from time to time. Nd jump off the rock. I know this man had died there a few years back I think he hit his head on the rock nd drown =( I know they said he was heavily intoxicated though which may have contributed to it all which doesnt change how tragicthat must have been for his loved ones but i felt this should be noted... I do know there's been quite a few times I flipped off of it nd everyone was like "omg I was so sure u were going to smack your head on the rock" which scared me after so many times of it being brought up to me... so now I just jump off of it no flips. But after noting those things I absolutely love this place nd have tanned nd swam here for years nd hopefully years to come. Be safe everyone nd pick up your trash it's not that hard or much for one to ask of you.
Nice spot for a quick dip on beautiful sunny day or quick bite to eat on a great cool picnic weather day
