This Swimming Spot Has The Clearest, Most Pristine Water In Georgia

Let's be honest, when you think about clear, pristine water, you don't normally think about Georgia. Most people picture someplace tropical, where you can dip your hand underneath the water and still see it perfectly. But for Georgia, there's a lot of sediment kicked up, and red clay being knocked around. You can't really picture clear, pristine water.

And yet, there is one spot that comes to mind—a pure natural wonder for the state. Heralded long ago as one of the most popular swimming holes in Georgia, Blue Hole Falls in Towns County easily tops our list for the clearest, most pristine water in Georgia. Here's why...

In order to get to Blue Hole Falls, you must hike the High Falls Trail about a 1 mile downhill from the trailhead at Indian Grave Gap Road.

This stunning waterfall reaches 10-feet in depth, while maintaining a cool temperature of 40-50 degrees Fahrenheit.

The hike to the falls is filled with lush greenery, and an immense landscape of Georgia flora and fauna.

The water from High Shoals Creek cascades down the 20-foot rock cliff, into the deep, blue pool of water below.

Many people visit the ever-popular High Shoal Falls, as well, although there isn't as nice of a swimming hole attached to it. But it sure does have a beautiful 50-foot waterfall to enjoy.

People flock from all over to hike the trail and take a dip in the refreshingly clear water.

If you were looking for one last thing to add to your summer bucket list, then swimming in Blue Hole Falls should be it.

If you're looking to round out your summer with a last minute swim, then head to the falls located at:

Address: Indian Grave Gap Road, Hiawassee, GA 30546
