Filers Hole


The Filers Hole is an interesting spot within the Salton Sea watershed located in California. It is a sinkhole which was created when an underground river collapsed, leaving behind a giant cavity. The hole is approximately 60 feet deep and 500 feet wide and is now filled with brackish water. It is the deepest point in the nearby Imperial Valley. The Filers Hole is a popular spot for tourists and adventurers who are exploring the Salton Sea area. One of the reasons to visit the Filers Hole is to see the unique geological formations that are characteristic of the area. The hole is surrounded by cliffs that are made up of different types of rock formations, which are visually stunning. Visitors can also take a dip and swim in the warm waters of the hole, which is a unique experience.

Another reason to visit the Filers Hole is to observe the diverse wildlife that thrives in the area. Since the Salton Sea is a crucial stopover point on the Pacific Flyway, a major North American migratory bird route, the Filers Hole is an excellent spot for birdwatchers who can spot various species of birds that are common to the area. Other wildlife that can be seen in the area includes coyotes, bobcats, and jackrabbits. Overall, the Filers Hole is a great spot for anyone who loves nature and wants to explore the beauty of the Salton Sea watershed. Get driving directions.
