Brush Creek Falls is a beautiful waterfall in Brush Creek Nature Preserve. This is a popular location for photographers and nature lovers, as the waterfall makes a perfect backdrop for a gorgeous long-exposure photo. The large trees surrounding the waterfall provide shade, and block out all the noise from the outside world. The hike to the waterfall itself is very short, not even a full mile, making this a great place for you if you are looking to get a small amount of exercise or take your small children on a nice nature walk. Brush Creek is open all year long but the waterfall is at its most powerful after rainstorms due to larger amounts of water. You can play in the water that the falls drains into, however the water isn't deep enough to do any real swimming. 

Unfortunately the downside of this spot, is that it is also a popular party spot and can be littered with trash (mostly beer cans).

Many other falls surround Brush Creek. Mash Fork Falls, Campbell Falls, and others are all near here, and most have short hikes as well.

Swim and tube. IS SOMETIMES CLOSED DUE TO BACTERIAL COUNT FROM ANIMALS. This from a visitor:” I just wanted to say that it is a great place to swim. Very popular with the locals and visitors. My grandparents swam there when they were young. I just wanted to let you know that it is a great place to swim and it is very clean and has a nice campground. Tubing is popular and the run starts at the cave to the right of the parking lot. The cave is barred for no entry. The water is deceptively clear...the water deeper than it looks. But cold, fresh and wonderful on a hot Florida day. The inner tubes can be rented outside the park at a couple of gas stations for a pretty cheap amount. Or you can take your own. The current is lazy, but strong enough to propel you downstream without having to kick your feet. There is a clean kiddie beach in a shallow part that is away from the diving and tubing."

Mule Hollow is a more private swimming hole just outside of Bemis. The swimming hole itself is located in Shaver's Fork river, and is a deep pool with little current from the river felt as you swim in it. There are large, flat rocks surrounding the pool that are perfect to get some sun on or place your personal items. To get to Mule Hollow, you have to walk along some train tracks. These tracks may have nails, or other sharp objects poking out or around it so wear sturdy shoes to prevent injury. You will walk on these tracks for about a mile. Because this area is a little more obscure and difficult to get to, it doesn't get as many visitors which makes it the perfect place for you to go if you don't enjoy lots of shouting and just want to enjoy the nature around you. A large rock hangs over the pool that you can swim underneath to get some cover from the warm sun. This area is best during the summer time, specifically in July. The water is refreshing and warm from the sun rays. Make sure to bring sunscreen and water with you!
