About Eberhart Point
Eberhart Point is a refreshing cold spring nestled along the canyon rim in Alabama. This primitive swimming hole invites you to escape the heat with its crisp, clear water flowing from the river below. The natural setting feels untouched, offering a peaceful spot to cool off while surrounded by rugged scenery.
Getting There
Access to Eberhart Point is straightforward with ample parking near a marked pullout off RT176. From the parking area, a short trail of about 10 minutes leads down to the riverbank where the spring feeds in. The path is mostly gentle but uneven, so prepare for a modest walk.
What to Expect
At the river’s edge, you’ll find quiet swimming spots with cool, invigorating water perfect for summer dips. The area stays relatively secluded, rarely crowded, offering an intimate experience with nature. Facilities are minimal—this is truly a back-to-basics destination without developed amenities.
Tips for Visitors
Visit during summer when the water is most inviting, and bring sturdy shoes for the trail. Since the site is clothing optional, respect the environment and others’ privacy. No fees apply, but leave no trace of your visit to preserve the spring's natural charm.
