Skinny Dip Falls

Skinny Dip Falls is actually just a series of 3 small cascades along the Yellowstone Prong, where the Mountains to Sea Trail crosses the creek on a footbridge. Its appeal is in that it's easy to access, and there are some unparalleled swimming holes at the bottoms of the cascades. Despite its name, the hordes of people that are usually there will prefer that you bring a swimsuit.
