Swimmer's Delight is a popular swimming and camping spot along the Van Duzen River. Each summer, dozens of visitors gather there every day to cool off in the gentle pools that dot the river. Sharing these pools with us are the salmon and steelhead who fight against the winter currents to spawn in the Van Duzen and her tributaries, as well as the juveniles that are a result of this effort.
