Posted on March 24, 2026April 22, 2025 by Ultimate Guide

The pools are surrounded by large rocks that are generally flat and easy to walk along. It is a great place to spend a day by the river, dipping in and out of the water, and enjoying a picnic. It is a short walk from the parking area to the pools. It is rarely crowded, except on major holidays.
