Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Found at the beginning of the Tahmoor Gorge, the Mermaid Pools are a beautiful natural swimming hole that can be reached via an hour-long hiking trail that starts at the Rockford Road Bridge. People often come here simply to swim and sunbathe on the rocks, but if you're in the mood for a more challenging hike, there's also a loop trail around Tahmoor Gorge that takes approximately six hours to complete. Visitors should be aware that the only way to swim in the pool itself is to jump off a fairly high cliff, but there are plenty of other swimming spots along the trail. Mermaid Pools
