Swimmin holes across the USA!

There was a spot we used to go to off of the blue ridge parkway a few years ago. I remember the locals getting pissed when college kids started showing up every week. Cool site though.
 
This thread is such a great idea. There's one in south Pittsburg tn it's quarries, could get the info if anyone was interested. Also some around Soddy daisy tn and spring city tn :)
 
Here's one I went to on my recent trip up the coast.
This is salmon creek up in big sur about 10 mi south of gorda and about 5 north of ragged point.

This is one of my favorite places in big sur. The water was fairly cold with little fishes swimming around but its right off the highway and was nice to take a dip after a long walk. There's also hiking trails around that area that lead to camps, so before or after a hike you can go for a swim.

We have plenty of swimming holes in the New Jersey Pine Barrens. Seriously, they're all over the place here.
 
swimmingholes.org should be a top resource for anyone who travels and lives outdoors. They directed me to some of my favorite places I've ever been.

Here's my favorite swimming hole, a must-see in California:
