Last
weekend marked the beginning of my watering hole seeking adventures, and I have
to say, its off to a good start. Located
Just outside of Phoenixville, the West Vincent rope swing is a fantastic way to
escape the Summer heat without making the trek all the way to the beach. There is an active community in the area that
will show you the ropes, but in case there is no one there, just be sure to
check your landing area for rocks, and get a buddy to stand on the boulder in
the center of the river. You do not want
to land on that! Aside from the rope swing, if you go up stream about a hundred
feet, you’ll come across a swimming area with a rock formation that forms
several islands that are pretty fun to sun bathe on. Overall this is a pretty easy spot is pretty
low key and pretty easy to get to. On a
warm day you will, probably meet about a dozen people from all walks of life, retired
people, young people, and couples with children – this really is a place for
everyone. At the lakes deepest point it
is only about 4 feet, essentially making the West Vincent swimming hole an
incredibly large children’s pool. The
water is fresh, and the river is wide enough to let sunlight into the
forest. I spent my entire Saturday at
West Vincent and if you leave in the area, I recommend you do the same.
