Tohickon Creek at Point Pleasant

This stretch of Tohickon Creek flows over limestone bedrock, creating a series of deep, clear pools perfect for a quick dip after dusty trail time. The water stays cold year-round thanks to spring inputs, making it a refreshing stop during Pennsylvania’s humid summers. Several pools offer different depths, from knee-deep wading areas to swimming holes over your head.

Park along Point Pleasant Pike and follow the obvious trail down to the creek. The water is typically clean enough to drink after filtering, though test it yourself. Gets busy with local swimmers on hot weekends.
