Swimming Holes

Located behind the last camping spots in the campground is a great swimming hole. Follow the trail through the trees to the open gravel bar with lots of room for people to spread out and enjoy the water.

My favorite nearby hikes

This easy hike is 1 mile each way and there is a beautiful waterfall and overlook at the end to enjoy. You can also cross the waterfall and crawl across the bluff line to access below the waterfall. It is a fun area to explore as well.

Easy hike that is very popular. Expect other people but it is worth the crowds. Multiple areas to explore. There is a cave with a waterfall inside at the end of the trail. It is worth crawling back to enjoy it if you are up for the challenge!!

Difficult hike that is worth the views! 6 miles roundtrip. Strenuous Not recommended for someone who is afraid of heights. Trail gets very narrow at overlook.
