River Park at Cooleemee Falls (The Bullhole)

River Park is a community park that has a local swimming hole created by a dam in the South Yadkin River. It’s a great place to picnic, fish, swim and tube. FYI: The current can be strong, the water’s floor is rocky, and accidents can happen if you are not careful.

To prevent accidents bring water shoes and stay all together.

Things To Do
The park features an impressive stone dam, a sandy beach deposited there by a flood, and good fishing in the spring and fall. Many bring their bathing suits to swim and “ride” the little rapids. There are scattered picnic tables and benches along its beautiful, wooded trails and the handsome big shelter can be rented, perfect for family reunions or church gatherings. The restrooms are located near the main parking area. Portages are available for canoeing and kayaking.
