While it’s encouraged that swimmers exercise extreme caution, which means no diving or climbing on rocks, the area is still perfect for cooling on when the temps get warm.

In fact, there are quite a few different pockets of the creek that can be used as a swimming hole, especially those areas that are both deep and calm.

Just make sure to bring a bathing suit because cooling off at the end at the swimming hole is always a highlight of the trek.
