This sampling point is located at the entrance of the Blue Hole Swimming Hole.

This is a sweet swimming hole located at the confluence of Blue Hole Creek and Gary Run within the Forbes State Forest. It is so named because of the blue-ish color of the water. Bring a mask so you can look around underwater as the water is crystal clear. This stream is spring-fed and quite chilly-- but great on a hot summer day! There is an informational kiosk at the entry site.
