Elkhorn swimming hole — photo spot in 148 W Russell St, Elkhorn City, KY 41522, USA
Elkhorn swimming hole
Score3.6Small Appalachian swimming hole with clear emerald pools, limestone ledges and short cascades framed by dense woodland — great for intimate waterscape and texture shots. Best light is early morning or late afternoon for soft side-light on rock and foliage; after-rain days bring fuller flow and richer color. Site is roadside-accessible with limited parking on W Russell St and a short walk; watch slippery rocks. No formal entry fee; visit weekdays to avoid locals. Respect swimmers and private land
