Blue Hole

Blue Hole - a popular, family-friendly summer swim hole on a calm stretch of the Little River.

NPS / Matt Switzer

A wonderful summertime swimming hole located on AL Highway 35 just 1/4 mile east of Little River Falls. In the summer, this spot is perfect for families with young children or new swimmers, featuring calm, easy flowing waters and is close to the parking lot.

A small parking lot limits crowding at this location. Future improvements will include picnic benches and fixed-in-place charcoal grills for visitor use. Personal charcoal grills are not allowed.

* On late spring and summer weekends, the Blue Hole parking lot often is full by 11:00 AM (CST) and park staff will close the lot until spaces become available. Have a back-up plan in case this area is inaccessible due to a full parking lot.
