WATER Quarry
TYPE Quarry
DESCRIPTION This is a commercial swim club with some unique features. A filled quarry with diving floats and rope swings. See their web site for fees, hours, etc: BEAVER DAM SWIM CLUB.

Things have unfortunately changed here - I received this in 6/2005: "Thanks for your website. I was a season pass holder at Beaver Dam Swimming Club in MD from 1991 to 2002. In early 2002 they closed off about 1/4 of the shimming hole. In 2003 to present they closed off more than 3/4 of the hole. Now only the corner is open near the rope swing, even the cliffs are roped off. The roped off portion includes one of the logs. The reason for closing it off was 1) lost lawsuits and 2) Baltimore County regulations. My problem (aside from missing my summer swimming) is that neither Baltimore Magazine(who listed it last month) , your website, or the Beaver Dam website(link below) mention this. In fact they post old pictures on their website that indicate that long closed portions of the swimming hole are open. I wish you would indicate this on your website."

WATER Licking Creek
TYPE Creek
DESCRIPTION This from a visitor:� Now a county park, with long-time swimming hole adjacent to park where the slope of the creek gets deeper and deeper slowly like a large Olympic pool. Maybe 8-10 foot deep at the hole. At times the health department will post swimming is dangerous (too many farms north and south). We swam there as kids and now as adults.... incredible beauty. Named Camp Harding after the president who would camp there. There's a photo of Harding Firestone and Henry Ford all camping there together.... not sure if photo is online anywhere. County park does not include swimming hole so it does not list it as such. Holes sits adjacent to the park. At times there's a rope swing off a huge old oak tree.... way too much fun."

STATE MD
WATER Fifteen Mile Creek
TYPE Creek
DESCRIPTION Swimming holes in Fifteen Mile Creek in the Green Ridge State Forest (and nearby) in western Maryland NOTE: In all cases, getting a map from Green Ridge S.F. Ranger's Station is a necessity! The Ranger Station is at Exit 64 (near GREEN RIDGE 3 below). Green Ridge S.F. Web Site. See also nearby in West Virginia: MOUNT STORM AREA . See "DIRECTIONS" below for details.
AREAS Green Ridge State Forest
SANCTION Unofficial
FEE None
FACILITIES None
ACTIVITIES Swimming (Tubing in Potomac River, at Green Ridge 4 below)
PHONE 301-478-3124
CAMPING There are 100 primitive camping sites (no tables or toilets, $7.00)in the State Forest; get a permit at the State Forest Visitor's Center at Exit 64. Can also camp at the C&O Canal at GREEN RIDGE 4 (see below, tables and Johnny toilets, $10.00). For luxury, go west 15 miles on I-68 to Rocky Gap S.P., expensive camping but very nice - on a big lake with swimming and boating and a lodge.
BATHING SUITS Varies, see below
DIRECTIONS From Hancock, take I-68 west. Then:

GREEN RIDGE 1 [GRE1]: Near the town of Flintstone in Fifteen Mile Creek is a not terribly scenic but convenient and fun swimming hole with rope swing (someone usually puts one up every year). This place may have no water later in the summer. PHOTO 1, PHOTO 2 . Not really in the State Forest but nearby. Bathing suits customary (it is a local hangout). To get here: From I-68, take Exit 62 (Scenic 40 and Fifteen Mile Creek Rd) and go north onto Scenic RT 40. At about a mile, Scenic 40 will curve to the right. Go left onto Fifteen Mile Creek Rd (gravel). At approximately .8 miles, the swimming hole will be on the right, at a culvert/bridge just past Carpenter Rd.. LAT, LON : lat=39.6934, lon= -78.4523(source: measured) (accuracy: exact) LINK TO GOOGLE MAP. Very confident. Verified 4/04. Updated 4/04.  


GREEN RIDGE 2 [GRE2]: Near the town of Little Orleans in Fifteen Mile Creek are a series of pools along the creek. Also an outstanding large pool called Longs Pond. Great informal (backpack) camping spots. Bathing suits may be optional in places. To get here: From I-68, take Exit 62 (Scenic 40 and Fifteen Mile Creek Rd). Go south on Fifteen Mile Creek Rd (gravel, sometimes rough but passable in a car) for 2.6 miles, keeping left at all decision points (e.g., do NOT go onto Greenridge Rd.) At 2.6 miles (past campsite #55 but BEFORE campsite #56) you will go down a hill and cross a creek and see a trailhead on the immediate other side of this bridge.

Park here. There is a trail information sign here saying �Long Pond Ridge Trail.� Take the trail downstream (left) along a stream (it is not Fifteen Mile Creek, yet). The trail is marked red on the maps and also is marked red on the trees. Walk about .6 miles to where the trail splits. The red trail (Long Pond Ridge Trail) continues to the right; a blue-blazed trail goes to the left after crossing a stream. From here, there appear to be two ways to go toward Long Pond - the "Bushwack" way and the "Long Pond Ridge Trail" way (below) - neither one is clearly better. Long's Pond: LAT, LON : lat=39.65842, lon= -78.44737(source: measured) (accuracy: exact) LINK TO GOOGLE MAP .

Bushwack: If you take the blue-blazed trail you will soon come to a trail registry. In a short distance, when the trail begins to go steeply uphill. Here, leave the trail and wade across the creek and bushwhack pretty much straight downstream - there is an old overgrown road here which you are roughly following. (Keep on the lookout for snakes and use long pants and/or deet to repel ticks along the bushwacking parts of the trail.) You will bushwack for about 20 minutes, passing some wading/swimming places (and campsites) that are NOT Long Pond NOT LONG POND, then you will come to Long Pond itself which is a wide and deep spot on Fifteen Mile Creek with pronounced diagonally sloping rock strata on the rock bluff on the far side. LONG POND , LONG POND. There is a nice shady picnic area/campsite set up with natural stones to make seats. Pretty confident. Partially verified 4/04. Updated 6/2010.

Long Pond Ridge Trail: At the trail split, you continue on the red trail, "Long Pond Ridge Trail", and it rises very steeply, and the hike continues along the ridge before going down to the creek. From where the red and blue trails split to the bottom of the ridge is about a mile. Expect a steep, tiring hike of about 30 minutes from where the trails split - to be avoided unless you have good hiking shoes. When you finish the descent from the ridge, then you will see a 1.6 mile marker. Long Pond is maybe a hundred yards from there on the left. There is a path leading to it where people have set up a picnic area/campsite, so it is easy to spot. The water (in early June) was about 5 feet deep in a few places. As for bathing suits, the �Pond� is secluded in general, but not from the trail. Anyone hiking the red trail would be able to see. Pretty confident. Not verified. Updated 6/2010.


GREEN RIDGE 3 [GRE3]: Swimming hole where 15 mile Creek dumps into the Potomac River. There is a boat ramp and there is usually a rope swing attached. The water is between 4' and 8' deep, depending on area and water level. The C&O Canal towpath allows you to cross the creek so you can enter the water on either side. You can swim in the creek or in the Potomac and even cross over to West Virginia.PHOTO. NOTE: Only adults who are also strong swimmers should enter the main stream of the Potomac, as the current is very strong. Sharing the area with locals and fishermen needs to be taken into account. For rafting / tubing, hike up the Potomac on the C&O Canal towpath as far as you want and you can raft down the Potomac back to your car.

To get here: From MD I-68 take Exit 68 and go south on Orleans Road for about 6 miles. After 6 miles, take a left (east) at an intersection, where the signs point to the C&O Canal (right/straight continues west as Oldtown Orleans Rd). Pass by a small country store and outfitter shop called "Bill's Place", pass under railroad tracks, and turn right immediately. Turn left at the campground entrance and cross the wooden bridge over the C&O canal. There is plenty of parking and several fee camping spots, with self-registration at $10 a night. (Recommend camping at one of the many camping spots at Green Ridge State Forest, which are more private ($7 a night). LAT, LON : lat=39.62412, lon= -78.38626(source: measured) (accuracy: exact) LINK TO GOOGLE MAP. Very confident. Verified 4/04. Updated 4/04.

TOWN CREEK [TOWN]: Nice small swimming hole in Town Creek (near where it empties into the Potomac River) that is 7-10 feet deep with a rock formation to jump off of with jumps at 8, 15 and 25 feet. To get here from I-68 in Cumberland, take RT 51 south for 20-25 miles. After you cross Town Creek (steel bridge) go about another .6 mile to a sign on the right that says �Town Creek Aquaduct/ C & O Canal entrance�. Turn right on to this access road and go until you come to the barricade at the end. About 200 yards before the barricade you will see a trail going down to your right. Walk down here and you will find the swimming hole. A great place on a hot day.. LAT, LON : lat=39.52437, lon= -78.5441(source: map) (accuracy: approximate) LINK TO GOOGLE MAP. Pretty confident.

BATHING SUITS Customary
DIRECTIONS From Baltimore, take I-83 north to exit 27 (RT 137, Hereford). From here:

BUNKER HILL RD. [BUNK]: Go east (right) at the bottom of the ramp onto RT 137. Then north (left) onto York Rd. RT 45). Go about 1 mi to just past Hereford High School (on the right) to Bunker Hill Rd. on the left. Go left onto Bunker Hill Rd. which ends at a parking lot for Gunpowder Falls S. P. and a picnic area. Walk upstream (left) on the south side of the river, keeping on the trail closest to the stream. After you get through the picnic area (about a 5 min. walk altogether), there is a deep swimming hole in the stream with a beach area. LAT, LON: lat=39.612855, lon=-76.676311(source: map) (accuracy: approximate) LINK TO GOOGLE MAP. BUNKER HILL RD. PHOTO 1 - PHOTO 2

YORK RD. [YORK]: Continue north on York Rd. past Bunker Hill Rd. until you reach the bridge over Gunpowder Falls River. Park on either side of York Rd. south of the bridge (before you cross the bridge.)

The most easily accessible place here is "Hobo Beach". It is right near the parking area with a grassy lawn and deep swimming place on the far side of the creek with a rope swing and large rock. Cold water! Popular spot for ending tubing trips down the Gunpowder. LAT, LON: lat=39.61428, lon=-76.65908(source: map) (accuracy: general area) LINK TO GOOGLE MAP.

For other places, walk north along York Rd. across the bridge (carefully, there is no sidewalk.) After you cross the bridge, on the east (right) side of the road there is a sign saying "Wiseburg". At this sign, there is a trail going down steeply toward the river. Where you first reach the river is an apparent swimming place by a couple of large rocks. Continue on this trail (blue blazes) downstream (this is the Gunpowder Falls North trail, it is a very easy and pretty walk) for about 30 minutes and you will come to Raven Falls (a very small but picturesque falls)YORK RD. PHOTO 1 entering the river from the left. There is a small pool at the very bottom of the falls but a better swimming hole is there in the Gunpowder Falls River where a large rock goes down to the water.YORK RD. PHOTO 2

Another trail: Across York Rd. from the Wiseburg sign there is another trail going down to the river and following it in the upstream direction. There is said to be a local swimming hole a short distance down this trail but I did not see any real swimming places on a visit 2/20/01, except maybe right under the I-83 bridge, but it is very noisy and not very scenic there.

BIG FALLS RD. [BIGF]: From RT 137 in Hereford, go south on York Rd. (RT 45) a short distance then east (left) on Monkton Rd.(RT 138) Take Monkton Rd through Hereford to Big Falls Rd on the left (before Monkton). Turn left on Big Falls Rd, bear right at the "T" intersection to stay on Big Falls Rd. Just before Big Falls Rd crosses the river, park here and walk upstream on the south side of the river (the Gunpowder Falls South Trail). LAT, LON: lat=39.60886, lon=-76.63513(source: map) (accuracy: general area) LINK TO GOOGLE MAP. There are several deep swimming holes here, tubing also. Rental of tubes at the train station in Monkton.

FALLS RD. [FALL]: From Exit 27, go west (left) at the bottom of the ramp onto RT 137 (Mount Carmel Rd.). Continue past several roads and turn north (right) on Evna Rd.. Follow Evna Rd. and turn right on Falls Rd.. As Falls Rd. descends to the Gunpowder Falls River, park in the last parking area on the left just before you cross the bridge. AT, LON: lat=39.61875, lon=-76.69075(source: map) (accuracy: general area) LINK TO GOOGLE MAP.

LONG GREEN CREEK [LONG]: AKA "The Pool". (See also "POT ROCKS" below which are accessed from the same parking area). This swimming hole is in a tributary creek (Long Green Creek) that empties into the Gunpowder Falls River. LINK TO AN ARTICLE ABOUT THIS PLACE. To get here from the Baltimore Beltway (I-695) north of Baltimore take RT 1 (Belair Rd.) north about 5.5 miles.

Near the right hand edge of this map, see an area marked "POOL" in "LONG GREEN CREEK". This is the swimming hole.

This report from a visitor in 2007:"Just visited this swimming hole about two weeks ago. I planned my own circuit hike that finished up at the swimming hole, then followed the trail you described back to the parking lot. It's there, with some nice rocks for sunning afterward. The water isn't particularly deep, but enough to swim around. Mostly smooth rocks and some mucky stuff on the bottom - I didn't have water shoes but didn't have a problem. There weren't many other people when I got there, but as I stayed more and more people showed up. Probably not a private spot on a hot weekend afternoon, but I enjoyed the dip after nearly 10 miles of hiking."

To get here: Follow the trail as described in this map - go under RT 1 then upstream along the north shore of the river. There are various trails that go off to the right - DO NOT TAKE THESE; stay on the trail that runs along the river. At about 1.2 miles, the trail will encounter Long Green Creek and bend to the right. The swimming hole is near here in Long Green Creek.

Park and follow the blue blazed trail heading southeast from the parking lot (downstream) on the north side of the river. After walking less than a mile, you come to a trail crossing. To the left is the continuation of the Lost Pond Trail, which leads you up the hillside. Keep right here at the trail marker (keep near the river, still following the blue blazes) and continue hiking for about ten minutes to the Pot Rocks (there is a sign post) which are rocks in the middle of the river.

LITTLE GUNPOWDER FALLS [LITT]: Swimming place/water play place at rapids in Little Gunpowder Falls. PHOTO , PHOTO . There are A LOT of no parking signs on the road (and hardly any safe parking even if there weren't the signs), so you may have to walk a ways after you park (legally) to get to the bridge and swimming hole. There are strong currents here at some places so avoid these. From the Baltimore Beltway, take RT 1 (Belair Road) north about 7 miles from the Beltway to Kingsville. In Kingsville, follow Jerusalem Road as it bears to the right. Take an immediate right onto Bradshaw Road and continue for almost one mile. Turn left onto Franklinville Road (continue straight onto Vinegar Hill Rd). In about a mile you will cross a bridge over Little Gunpowder Falls River.

DIRECTIONS From the north side of the Baltimore Beltway (I-695) take Exit 28, Providence Rd, north. Follow Providence Rd for about three miles to where it ends in a "T" with Lock Raven Rd. The trail you want leaves from the right far side of this T intersection. However, there is very little legal parking near here. If you go BACK up Providence Rd. (back the way you came) you will pass many "no parking" signs but, just as you leave the Loch Raven area and just as you enter a residential area (between Dogwood Hill Rd. and Roxleigh Rd.), you will see a wide shoulder on Providence Rd. that does not have "no parking" signs and often many cars parked here. Park here and walk along the path that follows Providence Rd. back down to the T intersection and then take the trail mentioned above. Follow that trail at first uphill (keep left at a major fork where there is a small tree stump with a hole in it) then downhill for a total of about 0.5 miles until you get to the water where you will see large rocks ands several rope swings.
