About this swimming hole
Gee Creek Falls drops through a rocky gorge in the Cherokee National Forest, and the plunge pool at its base is a refreshing swim on a hot day. The hike in is short but steep, winding through hardwoods to the falls. Because it is lesser known than nearby Benton Falls, it often feels like a private swimming hole.
