About This Trail

Imported description

The hill north of the road leads to the river on the other side of the bank. The small pool on the north cliff has a white cliff beneath it. The "hot" spring is about 100 feet below river level. You will go to the waterfall and spring by going down the hill very steeply. There is a nice deck, a concrete basin and a bath tub. It's easier to get to this site via boat and the ramp across the river. You can walk along the edge of the river but you have to go back up the hill due to a cliff.
