Paradise Cove Swimming Hole, Colorado, United States


3.0 (22 reviews) Spent Ranking #2 in Guffey Bodies of Water

Great for Cliff Jumping, Not Enough Space to Swim

Beautiful spot; quick and easy 10 minute hike from parking ($6 fee to park). We thoroughly enjoyed cliff jumping into the water and lounging in the sun. We came to jump, not swim, but if swimming had been our goal we would have been disappointed, as the swimming hole is quite small and therefore doesn't allow for people to swim safely while others are jumping into the water from the cliffs above. Either way, we had a fantastic time and would absolutely come back if we return to the area.

    Nice hike, not too far but
    The hike was nice and not too far, you have to pay a $6 parking fee and the lots are always crowded. When you get the water hole it’s over crowded with drunk people who don’t really respect the space.... If we go again maybe really early in hopes to avoid people.
