7/22/18 9:11 amThis is a local & quaint swimming hole that’s 10 min away on E. Canton that we just found out about it and it’s worth!
It’s right off HWy20 (Cumming HWY) & 369 inside Pooles Mill. (You’ll see playground of small park on R) Park there and follow trail. Easy access
Natural swimming hole, w lots of small pools w small waterfall and rocks to sun and rest. Safe for kids w parents. Saw a picnic pavilion but didn’t eat.
Small dogs were there also w no problems.
Anyone should try.. we spent 4 hrs there and didn’t notice. Relaxing and awesome
