About this swimming hole
Willowemoc Creek near Roscoe is a celebrated 27-mile trout stream where a state-owned rest area off Route 17 gives public access to the water. One swimming-hole guide lists it as a swim spot but found it unappealing for serious swimming — think wading and cooling off rather than a destination swim. Large sections are open to public fishing.
