Canoe, Dive, Hike, Kayak, and Swim
Pool Point is a popular and adventurous swimming spot in Breaks Interstate Park. Here there is a sandy beach, and a long rope swing for jumping in the water. This spot is famous for the train bridge that crosses high above the river, and for the beautiful cliffs that surround this spot. The water here is 25 feet deep in places, making it a popular spot for cliff diving and bridge diving.
Diving off the bridge and cliffs here is not for the faint of heart, and divers should be cautious and check conditions before jumping.
As with other sections of the Russel Fork River, this section is open for fishing, kayaking, and canoeing. It is a great place to enter or exit the water, or to paddle around in a calmer area.
Breaks Interstate Park requires a $2 entry fee per vehicle. This entry fee gives access to the entire park and all its hiking, swimming, floating and diving adventures.
