This sampling point is located at the entrance of the Blue Hole Swimming Hole.
This is a sweet swimming hole located at the confluence of Blue Hole Creek and Gary Run within the Forbes State Forest. It is so named because of the blue-ish color of the water. Bring a mask so you can look around underwater as the water is crystal clear. This stream is spring-fed and quite chilly-- but great on a hot summer day! There is an informational kiosk at the entry site.
Amenities:
Parking: 2-3 cars
Restroom: Not available at the site
Change Area: Not available at the site.
Life guards: Not available at the site.
Cell phone service: Not available at the site.
Other: There is a great hiking trail nearby on Cole Run Road-- be sure to check it out too!
Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is still essential. Only go to the beach if you are able to keep 6 feet or 2 meters away from others. Follow the instructions provided by your local health authorities. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter our efforts to curb the virus’s spread.
