A short quarter-mile hike is all it takes to reach this rugged 60-foot waterfall, which flows down from Idaho's Sands Basin. The stunning scene plays out just an hour from Boise, so it's a great day trip option. What's even more astounding than the falls itself—trust us, you'll want a camera handy—is the 600-foot rock walls that tower over the canyon-bound creek.

The Grand Canyon State is no stranger to extreme heat but luckily, the same goes for swimming holes. Bull Pen, about an hour south of Sedona in Coconino National Forest, pulls out all the stops with a pebbled beach, cool, placid waters, and a 20-foot rock that just begs to be jumped off of. Note that the drive in does include a long rocky service road and little to no GPS service, so keep written directions at the ready.

A dip in Midway's Homestead Crater requires a reservation—it's $16 for a 40-minute swim on weekends—but hear us out here. The 10,000-year-old geothermal spring is tucked within a towering beehive-shaped chunk of limestone rock. Better yet, since the top of the dome is open and lets in sunlight, its mineral water never drops below 90 degrees. Since the one-of-a-kind pool reaches a depth of 65 feet, scuba diving and snorkeling are also an option.

With three separate waterfalls—Lower, Middle, and Upper Falls—this scenic spot offers plenty of room to stretch out, swim, and soak in the misty, moss-shrouded bedrock of Gifford Pinchot National Forest. If you only have time for one, we suggest Lower Lewis River Falls as it stuns with a highly photogenic 200-foot-wide cascade.

Follow the moderate Amicalola River Trail for three miles and eventually you'll reach your reward: the unmarked Edge of the World swimming hole. By the time you roll around, you'll certainly have worked up a sweat, so the clear pools and rushing rapids will be the perfect refresher. Plus, it's a popular place to tube if you're looking for an extra adrenaline rush.

Escape scorching Tennessee temps with a dip in Rutledge Falls' refreshing crystal-clear waters. Though the cascades are privately owned, the proprietor graciously allows free-of-charge visits from dawn to dusk. Note that there's no public parking and the spot can be tricky to find on your first go, but that just makes for an even better adventure.

Hop in your car and head an hour and 20 minutes south of Pittsburgh to find this all-natural slide, which twists and turns through 300-million-year-old sandstone channels before feeding into the Lower Youghiogheny River. Meadow Run's current changes throughout the year—spring and winter waters are quite unforgiving—but summertime offers just the right speed and force for adventurous visitors.

Head into Oregon's rugged Willamette National Forest, following the North Fork of the Santiam River, and you'll come across this fir- and hemlock-shaded hotspot. With volcanic basalt rocks housing a series of emerald grottos, Three Pools, in the 20,454-acre Opal Creek Wilderness, is popular among sunbathers and swimmers, but you'll also find deeper pools and outcroppings that attract daredevil cliff-jumpers.

Sliding Rock—just an hour south of Asheville in North Carolina's Pisgah National Forest—is no well-kept secret, that's for sure. If you can catch it on an off day, though, it's worth a slight wait to ride. Each passing minute, the 60-foot natural slide is powered by more than 11,000 gallons of freezing-cold mountain water, and the ride is capped off with an exhilarating plummet into an eight-foot-deep plunge pool.

This Southern Appalachian reserve is home to multiple top-notch swimming holes including the 45-foot Little River Falls and mini Martha's Falls—the latter which goes by "Hippie Hole" among locals. Both of the scenic spots are known for their sandstone bedrock, which has been carved out by the rushing Little River—an attraction that's worth a visit in and of itself as it flows almost entirely atop a mountain.

If you've gotten your fill of the Barton Springs Pool and Hamilton Pool Preserve, why not take things just slightly south of Austin—say 40 minutes or so—to Wimberley's Blue Hole Regional Park? The 126-acre preserve includes four and a half miles of trails, a number of picnic areas and basketball/volleyball courts, and its crown jewel: a lush, cypress-lined swimming hole that's fed by the cool waters of Cypress Creek. Rather soak up the sun and sand? Then, check out the 17 Best Secret Beach Towns in America.
