Guffey Gorge, Natural swimming area in Colorado Park County, United States.
The Guffey Gorge contains a deep swimming hole surrounded by granite rock formations and pine trees at an elevation of 8,658 feet.
The area near Guffey Gorge experienced significant growth between 1895 and 1902 when the Freshwater Mining District supported 500 residents and 40 businesses.
Local residents refer to the swimming spot as Paradise Cove, which attracts visitors seeking relief from summer heat in the mountain waters.
Access requires a half-mile hike from the parking area on County Road 102, with a day use fee and regulations prohibiting alcohol consumption.
In 1907, a 309-kilogram meteorite landed near the gorge and now resides in the American Museum of Natural History in New York.
