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.
