We set off up a creek in Tennessee in search of some hidden blue pool swimming holes. At first, we were dismayed by the full parking lots, but soon we realized that with a little effort, we could have some paradise pools all to ourselves.

We are once again in Tennessee today continuing our quest for the best swimming holes
in all of Tennessee and I would say that we found possibly an epic hidden gem. However,
it seems to be a pretty popular spot at least for the locals. We're here on a Wednesday
and there's two parking areas and they are both packed. Seems like a popular spot for fishing,
dog walking and hopefully what we're going to get into and that is some epic swimming holes.
So the flowers and the honeysuckle are just so fragrant right now. Just found this little
weeping rock along this trail. This is a beautiful spot. I can see why it gets so crowded.
The water looks nice. I have a feeling today is going to be an epic day.
We got three girls tubing already today. Apparently there are several blue holes along
this creek so today we're going to try to hit all of them or at least some of them
or at least most of them some of them more than just this one for sure.
It's funny because people can definitely tell we're not locals because we are stopping and
filming everything including this amazing waterfall that just unexpectedly popped up
out of nowhere. Pretty sweet Tennessee. There are just surprises around every corner and
man what an awesome day. Not a cloud in the sky. Perfect temperature. Haven't even gotten in the
water yet and already having an amazing day. Well this is one of those places that
I think there's a lot of stuff here. A lot of options but the further upstream you go
the more you're going to find privacy and hidden spots all to yourself. At least I'm hoping that's
the case anyway. The further you go you're definitely going to have it all to yourself
because the trail really really narrows up a ton of poison ivy. I'm thinking anything we find up
this way most likely is going to be all to ourselves because back there I mean it's a wide
flat very little elevation gain almost like a fire road and now we were on a
tight poison ivy trail. Cool. So we made it to this bridge here which as you can see there's
epic stuff down there but I think the plan is going to be to head upstream of this bridge and
maybe stay in the creek from here on out to hopefully avoid that poison ivy. We shall see.
If all else fails upstream we have this nice little spot to cool off in here. I am ready to
get in that water for sure. Let's do it. Well we made it to the spot we wanted to get to. The
Blue Hole but this creek should be called Blue Hole Creek. It's not but there are countless
amazing swimming holes on it and I am ready to dive headfirst into this water. Maybe check out
a cascade or two above this but we're gonna try to pretty much go back most of the way in the creek
so it's gonna be pretty slow going just to avoid this poison ivy on the sides here. What an epic
spot in Tennessee. Butterflies. Spring is in the air. The flowers. The scent is wafting through
the air. Amazing blue pools. I feel like I'm in a visit Tennessee tourism video but if you're
watching Tennessee tourism give me a call. Amazing. Amazing state. I had no idea. Stunningly beautiful.
Now let's jump in that water. Oh it feels so good. Infamous.
