Along a section of Caesar's Creek, near the Little Miami River, are dozens of swimming holes, accessible only by hiking trails.
This 150-acre natural lake features a small swimming beach within Punderson State Park that's perfect for taking a serene dip.
So you can't actually swim in this one, but it's a popular spot for kids (and adventurous adults) to cool off during a hike to Old Man's Cave at Hocking Hills State Park. (It felt wrong to not include it.)
