About
Morrow Mountain Pool is a large, unheated outdoor swimming facility located within Morrow Mountain State Park in Albemarle, NC. Open seasonally (typically Memorial Day to Labor Day), it provides a popular recreational spot for park visitors to cool off, featuring lifeguards, a bathhouse, and a concession stand.
The pool at Morrow Mountain is unheated, meaning its temperature fluctuates naturally with the ambient air and water conditions. Specific daily temperature readings are not typically provided, but it offers a refreshing experience during its summer operating season.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? This pool generally receives positive feedback, praised for being spacious, clean, and beautiful, with friendly staff. It accommodates all ages, featuring a 1ft baby pool and a shallow end in the main pool (deepest 5ft). Facilities like dressing rooms and showers are clean and new. Visitors appreciate the good mix of sun and shade and the reasonable admission fee ($6 for adults). However, significant downsides include a strict 100-person capacity limit, often resulting in long lines and inability to enter, compounded by a lack of readily available information on operating hours. The sitting area is also noted as lacking, and visitors are advised to bring their own chairs, umbrellas, pool noodles, and cash for admission and snacks, as parking is a 5-minute walk away.

A Great place to spend the day! There is plenty of room to enjoy the pool without feeling crowded. Bring chairs, and pool noodles & make yourself comfortable. This pool has a good mix of direct sun and shade throughout the day, friendly staff, and clean and new dressing rooms. Just remember to bring cash for admission and snacks!

Love the pool there. They have a 1ft pool for the babies. Also in the big pool it's goes as low as 1ft by the ramp and the kids like to play there. Which make momma feel a little less paranoid about the kids in the pool. Our kids had a blast! 5ft is the deepest.

Large swimming pool, changing room, shower. I would recommend taking your own chairs and umbrella. Sitting area has a lot to be desired. Large parking lot about a five-minute walk away. Cost $6 for adults to swim.

Can only let 100 people in so you stand in line then can't even get in. There is hardly any information available for times that they are open or anything. NOT IMPRESSED!!
