Swimming

There's nothing like a swim in one of Greene County's sky-blue mountain lakes or forest creeks shaded with leafy boughs. Take a picnic lunch and enjoy a full refreshing day of nature. All of our resorts and many of our hotels and motels have swimming pools for their guests, and some allow non-guests day-use of their pools for a small fee. Another great way to cool down on a hot summer's day is to visit our family water park, with its body slides and other thrilling water attractions.
