This swimming hole is located outside of Ventura, CA. Along the river there are several swimming holes people can visit, each with varying hiking distances required. When school is out these swimming holes can quickly become crowded. About four and a half miles in the first swimming hole will come into view. It is formed from the Bear Creek and Sespe Creek meeting together. There is good shade at this spot and a small camping area.
