Bartram Trail: Wallace Branch to William's Pulpit
1719 Ray Cove Rd15 minutes from the house
This is more of a swimming hole. There is no hike but there’s a rope that lets you climb the rock and jump into the water. It’s right off the road, decent amount of parking and just a fun place to swim.

Glen Falls
This is the most remote waterfall near Highlands but also comes with one of the greatest rewards: small crowds, a gorgeous waterfall, and a swimming hole! A short hike leads out to a 50’ cascading waterfall and a shallow swimming area. Do you think they’ll still call it Secret Falls after everyone reads about this?
The 1.3-mile out and back trail is a moderate hike with less than a 250’ elevation change. The trail is primitive and mostly maintained although it can get muddy at times.

There is also a hike to a waterfall Ranger Falls, it’s all the same area and it’s on the same road as Bust your butt falls and Dry Falls so it’s a good full day of activities.

So nice out there! Lots of swimming areas and even one area with a waterfall you can stop at. We like to stop in the cove there and have lunch.
