Looking for a specific swimming hole near Kaaterskill Waterfall, NY

Please help me find the specific swimming hole that I went to 7 years ago near Kaaterskill Creek in the Catskills, or recommend other nice swimming holes in the area.
About 7 years ago, I was at a great swimming hole in the Catskills. I don't think it was marked or had any signs, you can only tell something was there because there were a bunch of cars parked at the site of the road.
Some more information:
- the name "Ashland swimming hole" keeps coming to mind, but I am not sure if it was called that, and googling isn't helping
- it might have been on a road off of Route 23A, but I am not sure
- it had a ~15ft cliff you could jump off of into the water
- it had a tiny waterfall ~2-3 feet that you could stand under and the water massaged your shoulders and it felt so nice.
If you have no idea what I am talking about but know of a good swimming hole in that area, please recommend that to me as well.

The Blue Hole near the base of Peekamoose Mountain is great, and includes a rope swing! Cold cold cold water.

Your description matches Keyerserill Falls. If the images look right I can get directions for you in the next day or two.

Response by poster: a22lamia, I tried to google "Keyerserill Falls" but nothing came up. Perhaps you misspelled it?

There was an article in the Times recently about swimming holes in the area:

Sorry I meant Keyserkill Falls. A google image search comes up with a few from that location. Let me know if it looks right and I can get directions from a friend.
