    Still one of my favorite local swimming hole to take my kids to during a hot day! The only problem is the parking lot is kinder small, so you have to find legal street parking to park your car.

    It was fairly packed as far as places to claim for our towels/blankets. Nice little spot to go swimming! A bit of an under tow... not good for little ones.

    It's really nice and peaceful there.nice parking (paved with a out look viewing)100ft from the river when my kids were young we used to take them there in the early 90s. It's even slot nice now and it's only minutes from town

    Great local swimming hole right over the state line into Washington. It's easy to find unlike a lot of other swimming holes we've visited, has a parking lot, bathrooms, bike rack, ramp, and beautiful clear water. On the to be prepared for side, the ground is really rocky and there's no shade. Next time I would definitely bring a zero gravity chair and an umbrella to be super comfy! There were kids of all ages and adults and everyone was having a good time while staying distanced. A group of teenagers was jumping from a platform into a deep spot. My girls were screaming and trying to skip rocks. Some tubers floated past us. And a family down the beach was playing music to give us some background music. The viewing platform right off the parking lot has picnic benches and a great view of the river. I don't know if this is a regular thing, but when we got there at around 5:30, the ice cream truck was just pulling through! I'm not sure when we'll be back since it was quite a haul, but I would definitely return and highly recommend for anyone nearby. It seemed about 5 to 10 degrees warmer than where we are in Portland, and a lot of folks were just showing up as we were leaving around 7: 00pm. It looked like evening might be the time to go!

    It's really nice here. Good swimming hole. It's small and limited parking so get there early. Also if you don't know how to swim wear a lifjacket. It's a river and people die on it every year.
