Reserve your stay at Hamilton Pool where you’ll get to hike the trails, swim in the natural pool, and more. This “underground” pool wasn’t discovered until a stone dome eroded, exposing the river underground. Picture it – jade-colored waters encapsulated by limestone grottoes and a 50-foot-tall waterfall. Rock stability isn’t always guaranteed, so it’s important to check when you place your reservations that swimming is allowed at Hamilton Pool – unexpectedly cold winters can cause additional erosion.
