About This Trail

Imported description
This is a short walk to a small swimming hole. There is a little shade on the trail. The hike begins from a parking lot, down a dirt road, and then you make a right onto a trail that leads to the water. Water is a must for the hike out as it is all up. It's a flat walk back to the car when you feel like you've had enough.
