Swim

Creek is fed into man-made concrete-bottom stream-fed pool. This from a visitor in 2010:"There is a sandy beach with stone and concrete stairs down to the pool. There is a short man-made waterfall from the stream-fed pipe that flows down into the pool. It's not the best place to swim simply because when the water level is low, the water only comes up to an adult's waist, but it's refreshing. In June the temp was freezing; in August it is pleasant."Courtesy of swimmingholes.org

Fees: Yes
