Swimming Holes - Blue Hole about a 15 minute drive from Inn

Advice from previous guests:  Attached is a photo of the Blue Hole swimming hole.  There’s also a smaller hole just downstream.  The directions on the web site could be misleading.  They say follow the directions to Snake Hole which say drive as far as you can go to get to the parking area.  For Blue Hole you need to park at the first parking area after the reservoir which is not as far as you can go.  Cross the stream at the parking area and scramble up the opposite bank to the fire road.  Take the road up and to the right for about 2 miles.  There is one stream crossing and the rocks are very slippery – so there’s a good chance you’ll get wet feet.  It’s a nice hike even if you don’t go swimming.  For guests that are interested in hiking, I would recommend this trail as well as the one to Snake Hole.  They are especially nice in the summer because they are shaded most of the way and you can always cool off in the streams.  Even the drive to the trail head is very nice. The Rivanna Trails would probably be too short for anyone who hikes regularly. Thanks again for your hospitality. Bob and Laura
