If there were a Hall of Fame for swimming holes, Blue Hole would be at the head of the list. This picture-perfect spot, located at the junction of the Cheat River and Big Sandy Creek, is a long-time favorite of WVU students and the community around Morgantown homes for sale. Adrenaline junkies can't resist leaping into Blue Hole from atop the 60-foot high Jenkinsburg Bridge.
