Amazing spot to explore during the off peak season. Plenty of parking and no permit required.
Amazing place, very cold lol but so much fun. Make sure you reserve parking before you go. DEC staff is there to help with the limited parking
Epic place to go hiking. Across the street from the blue hole there are amazing waterfalls. The hole itself is kinda lame.
Really enjoyed this place
It was tricky to find but it was right off the road. No fees or anything. Water was ice cold (saw ice/snow still on the mountain) but soo blue and beautiful. Went in the Spring time, its not so crowded but heard it does get crowded. Mini waterfalls on the way.
A small hike down the road and we can reach this place. A nice play to just get into water and enjoy. The water is extremely cold and it takes some time to get into water and adjust to the cold temperature. We weren’t able to see the blue color but we got to see the emerald green. This has permit to be entered and they limit the permit to 50 passes a day during May - Sep. permits are obtained online through reserve america website.
