Set on the Rattlesnake Brook, Rattlesnake Flume and Pool highlight nature at its most spectacular, drawing both locals and visitors to soak up the picturesque beauty. Rattlesnake Flume is a stunning 10-foot plunge cascading down into a narrow gorge with steep walls, while Rattlesnake Pool is a dazzlingly attractive swimming hole fed by small 3 and 4-foot horsetails that drop into a giant pothole, creating the fantastic swimming hole. The pool’s water is frigid year round due to the always-chilly mountain water flowing into it and the sun-sapping overhanging hemlock trees above; however, the water is always exceptionally clean, and the moss-surrounded horsetail that feeds the pool, along with the striking teal-green colored water, creates a decidedly romantic ambiance.
