This Swimming Hole In Rhode Island Will Make You Feel Like A Kid On Summer Vacation

Remember the summers of long ago – when we were kids with not a care in the world? Summer vacation meant staying up til the wee hours of the morning, waking up late, and having hour after hour free to do as we please. One of the highlights of those carefree summer days was, undoubtedly, heading to our favorite swimming hole in Rhode Island to cool off, soak up the sun, and to hang out with friends and family.

We can find beautiful swimming holes just about anywhere we go in Rhode Island, whether we want to cool off in the ocean or head to a pristine lake or pond.
