Paradise Cove Details

As its name implies, this swimming hole is a paradise for cliff jumpers and swimmers. Located near the town of Guffey on Four Mile Creek, this secluded body of water can be accessed by a downhill ½ mile trail. The pool itself may be small, but the translucently clear waters are clean and deep which makes it ideal for divers of all skill levels. Just make sure to get there as early as possible. Because it is easy to reach, this place gets packed with locals and tourists on hot summer weekends.
