Before you go

  • \"Gorgeous\" swimming hole in the Charles Brook near the Cold River AMC campground.
  • The pool is quite deep...about 12 feet in the middle.
  • The rocks on both sides provide jumps from 6\" up to about 12 feet.
  • The water can be a touch warmer than other mountain streams because of the small river that feeds it.
  • Follow the AMC trail signs and then the sign Emerald Pool.
