Pauls Creek
Nellysford, Virginia
Hike and Swim
Paul's Creek Trail is a beautiful short hike to a unique little swimming hole. From the parking lot to the waterfall and back is a quick and easy 1.2 mile hike. This makes this a beautiful hike that is accessible to hikers of all levels.
Along the trail hikers will follow Paul's Creek until it transforms into a cascading waterfall. At the bottom of the waterfall the creek deepens into a functioning swimming hole, and the rocks form the natural waterslide Paul's Creek is famous for. The water has smoothed the stones at the bottom of the waterfall smooth enough to allow visitors to slide into the swimming hole below.
Paul's Creek is a uniquely beautiful and easily accessible location to experience nature. The beautiful waterfall makes a great location to visit year round for its beautiful views and exhilarating trails.
