The Ozark National Forest offers many beautiful swimming spots, with many in or along scenic rivers and creeks. Also, many swimming holes area also located at or very near campgrounds, providing easy access for many. Some feature beautiful waterfalls or cascades, while others are very secluded, and can often be swam with no one else around for hours, or even the whole day!
Currently, there are so many more swimming holes within the Ozark National Forest than I have had time to photograph, gather information for, and list here. As soon as new information becomes available, and I am able to gather pictures, I will post them here.
