Confirmed from Blue Hole Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Bordered by limestone bluffs, this picturesque lagoon offers trails, picnic spots & a wading area.
What runners say about Blue Hole Park
“One thing to note is that there is some construction going on right now right next to the waterfalls so it makes for a bit less of a scenic and quiet experience.”
“We brought our own wagon the kids ate in, and a folding chair for me, we just posted up in the shade along the roadline.”

Beautiful park with a small trail that leads up to a cemetery. Animals we saw were squirrels, turtles, birds and fish. Water is so clear you can see thru to the bottom. What a little gem to find in the middle of Georgetown.
I love it. It's beautiful. I enjoyed watching lots of turtles 🐢 sunbathing on the other side of the river. Not crowded, only few people are walking by. I can imagine summer and fall would be wonderful here. I love swimming and it would be perfect spot for me.
My very first visit mid-week early evening, it wasn't crowded at all. Parking off the street. Restroom and plenty of benches along the walking path. Many folks walking their dogs or jogging on the surrounding trail and lots of families enjoying the water. The shore is rocky so bring water shoes!
Blue Hole Park is a wonderful place for walking, jogging, and spending quality time with friends and family. It’s also perfect for fishing enthusiasts! I went with my relatives and their kids, and we really enjoyed the beautiful atmosphere, greenery, and stunning scenery… and of course, the lovely faces 🤣🤩.
