I took my baby to many swimming holes. The hardest thjng is schlepping all your gear into what are sometimes hard to access spaces. Most swimming holes are pretty family friendly though you’ll occasionally encounter people being assholes and partying and letting their dogs run all over your stuff. The other thing to remember is that a lot of infants don’t really regulate their temperature/cry out in the cold-river temps are quite chilly until at least august so you just need to be mindful of not letting your kiddo spend too long in the water.

Popular swimming holes are gross. There are people that stay at them all day and into the night. We have found: cigarette butts, general trash, broken glass, crushed beer cans ,needles, dog shit, human shit, soiled diapers.

We finally got so grossed out we stopped going. I might go for a quick dip but never to hang out anymore.

Ah, yes, I didn't think about all the baby gear we'd need to bring along. Do you have any swimming holes you'd recommend?

Respectfully, no there aren’t any I’d recommend. I prefer not to share my favorite river spots with strangers online. Nothing personal.
