Perhaps one of the most underrated swimming holes sits at the edge of a waterfall, Falling Water Falls east of Ben Hur is almost like a tropical paradise. This amazing natural swimming hole sits right in the heart of the Ozark National Forest, the falls flow right into a large swimming pool that has become one of the more popular spots for summer guests to enjoy. The water gives off a blue-green-teal color that will mesmerize you the moment you dip your toes in it.
