Just below Eagle Falls on the South Fork Skykomish River, below cliffs and along rock ledges, flows the green water through this beautiful swimming hole. Do not let the sunshine fool you. This water is cold. Very cold. Multi-colored pebbles line the shores of the river and invite wading in the clear water.
