Bet this was cool. Is this spot public property ? Thought the Moorman's was private unless you have a trout fishing license.

Ann,

This spot is in Shenandoah National Park. If you proceed past the "reservoir" at Sugar Hollow, you will be able to access a trail that leads to this VERY popular swimmimg hole on the North Fork of the Moormans River.
