Anywhere on the river! If you go to the Cole Mill rd.entrance,just follow that road ALL the way til you get to the parking lot and follow one of the many trails by the grills/restrooms,and you'll see people or even find your own little private spot but there's plenty of places to swim! Also if your into jumping into a huge "hole",ride up Sparger rd and make a right onto the road right before the bridge that crosses 85 and hit the Eno Rock Quarry! Loads of fun but prepare to walk a cpl miles if you go there.. Its a mile to quarry and a mile back to the parking lot..hope this helps!
Across the foot bridge is easy access to the river
