Well worth the trip any time of year - the water is always the same temperature since it's spring fed! Local Tip: there is a trail back behind the pool that you can walk through. About a mile in you'll find Campbell's Hole, depending on the time of year it's a hidden oasis of waterfalls and pool to swim in! And it's free.
You can also head towards the front of the Pool for a free swimming area.

By far some of the best deals I've ever found! They have normal outlet shops, but the best part is they also have luxury brand outlets. Calvin Klein always has some of my favorite deals for clothes, Puma for sports wear, and West Elm outlet is my favorite for home goods!
