With plunging waterfalls and turquoise waters, this swimming hole is a lush oasis in the middle of Camp Verde. The water from Fossil Springs flows directly into the creek all year, which means you can always enjoy this tranquil spot no matter when you’re stopping by. The calm pools and warm waters (a pleasant 72-degrees) are not just popular with swimmers but also kayakers and snorkelers. It is also popular for wildlife spotters, as the jungle-like surroundings are home to over 200 species of birds, reptiles, and mammals, including the endangered loch minnows and razorback sucker.
