Sunburst Swimming Hole in Canton is a quiet, peaceful spot where you can swim or just relax. Bring a picnic lunch, blanket and chairs to enjoy an easy day along the river bank. Never crowded, but always enjoyable. Sit back and listen to the sounds of nature, while families frolic in the water. If adventurous, you can jump off a rock into a deep pool.
