Split Rock Hole is a unique swimming hole in the Mohonk Preserve. The beautiful landscape and variety in depth make this the perfect adventure for explorers of any age.
Split Rock Hole gets it's name from the ten foot chasm in the short cliffs leading to the waterfall. The water between these cliffs is crystal clear and about 5 to 8 feet deep. This allows swimmers to enjoy a proper swim while being able to clearly view the water all around them. The chasm leads to a 12 foot waterfall with a 3 foot deep pool beneath it. The pool is the perfect place to wade and play while enjoying a view of the picturesque waterfall and rocky cliffs. The cliffs are flat on top and allow for the perfect area for picnicking, sunbathing and viewing the water from above.
It is a short easy and beautiful hike to Split Rock Hole. Visitors should follow clove road and look for a sign that says "Coxing Entry". Here you will find a parking area where visitors will pay the Mohonk Preserve's entry fee. There is a picnic area and a bridge across the road, from which the swimming hole should be visible.
The forest, rocks and water here create uniquely stunning views that will make the perfect backdrop for your next adventure.
