The Natural Swimming Hole In Alabama That Will Take You Back To The Good Ole Days
It’s no secret Alabama experiences very hot summers. With summer just around the corner, you’re probably dreading the upcoming high temps. Fortunately, Alabama is filled with many outdoor spots that are perfect for beating the summer heat. One spot, in particular, is Hippie Hole — a popular natural swimming hole. You can read all about this swimming hole below.
Hippie Hole is located off Highway 35 in Fort Payne, Alabama. It's one of Little River Canyon National Preserve's most famous hidden gems.
The water that flows from Martha's Falls is responsible for filling Hippie Hole. The area near the falls is actually the deepest part of the swimming hole.
In addition to swimming, visitors enjoy leaping and diving from the surrounding cliffs. Keep in mind, if you visit after a heavy rainfall, these cliffs will be slippery. Always use caution when approaching them.
If you decide to visit Hippie Hole this summer, don't forget to bring along a towel, float, and sunscreen. Also, be sure to bring along your camera to capture any memorable moments you may have.
