Didn't get many pics. Was having too much fun swimming. Not far from Portland, the water was so cold, it literally took the breath from my body. I got acclimated and had an amazing time. You'll be surprised how sore you can get swimming against the current!
Lovely spot. So beautiful. Bring good shoes and something to sit on as it's all rock, no beach. Somewhat treacherous trip down from the car, short trip though. Deep enough to swim. Good to lay out on your float. We even saw folks jumping off the rocks into the water.
Stunning swimming hole and chill vibe. Be aware that there no phone service. Water is cold when you jump in and can take your breath away. Bring floaties, lifejackets and something to lay on. There are rocks under the water in a lot of areas so check before you jump in! You need to print out a pass online first to park. Wear good hiking shoes as it's very steep and rocky. Not great for kids or dogs. We packed out a bunch of other people's trash! Please stop littering this is such gorgeous spot, please respect nature.
Wonderful area!! It was so beautiful and clean. We enjoyed cooling off here after a long day in the sun. A heads up do not bring open containers. They were handing out open container tickets right before we showed up. Be responsible and enjoy.
Pretty remote location in the middle of September when the summer crowds have long gone. Located at the literal end of Washougal River Rd. Wide parking area. Nice place to take a break and plan your trek into the back country.
