A swimming hole in Pennsylvania just takes summer to that next level of fun. Sure, we can head to our nearest waterpark for some of summer’s biggest thrills and chills. However, a day at a swimming hole allows us to relax as we sunbathe, wade in the cool water, and soak up every moment. It’s the perfect old-school summer day.

With all of Pennsylvania's swimming holes, some are sure to get overlooked - like the beach at Greenwood Furnace State Park in Huntington.
