Heavenly Retreat | Peekamoose Blue Hole: A Summer Escape Near NYC π
Feeling like summer just isn't complete without a splash? This weekend, I finally made it to a hidden gem near New York: Peekamoose Blue Hole. π It's about a 2-hour drive from New York City. βΌοΈ Be sure to book your permit in advance online through Reserve America. The DayPass is $10 per permit, and one permit covers a single vehicle. But note, reservations open only 7 days in advance. π¦ The star of the show is the stunning blue pool pictured. The stream water is incredibly clean and clear, with a gem-like blue-green hue. However, it's quite cold, requiring a lot of courage to take a dip. Despite the chill, many brave souls jump in for a swim. I recommend bringing a change of dry clothes, but they do dry pretty quickly. πThe entire area isn't very large. A group can enjoy wading and splashing around for an hour or two. But escaping the city heat for a cool, refreshing break is pure joy. With the hot summer days upon us, head to the mountains for some watery fun! #SummerSwimmingSpots #SummerFun #HikingAndSwimming #DayTrip #OutdoorAdventures #BeautifulScenery #ExploringNature #NYC #NYCLife #SummerGetaway #NYCWeekend #NYCWeekendActivities #NYCSurroundings #NYCEatingDrinkingAndFun #NYCDaily #MoodToday
