Old growth cypresses provide shady spots for when you need to cool down, while rope swings ensure plenty of adventure. This is a popular swimming location, so you’ll need to book a reservation through their website, with the swimming season running from May through September. Blue Hole is located within Blue Hole Regional Park, which also includes 4.5 miles of trails, picnic areas, an amphitheater, and basketball and volleyball courts.
