Amazing place. BUT be early, by early I mean no later than 7 am in weekdays. Its super popular spot. I was there early in the morning and all pool was mine. There are plenty of parking spot but its not enough for all people coming there.

Wow! Mind blowing, one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. Incredible deep blue water (make sure light conditions are right or adjust your expectations). It's a 50min medium pace easy hike, bring some water as you might need if it's hot (no you are not gonna die if you make both ways without water, AND food lol). Definitely, a must visit place, should be officially one of Oregon's wonders. 😁

Easy/moderate hike up to the blue pool, well marked easy to follow. Lots of lava rock and muddy in spots so best to wear hiking boots if ya got 'em. Its kind of a scramble down to the pool, but don't have to you can just hike or picnic along the top. Great views, dog friendly! So so blue and so so cold!

It’s actually not that blue.πŸ₯² Better visit in the morning. When there’s no sunshine, it’s not as impressive as the pictures. But it’s a relaxing trail that is full of shades. We visited in winter, so it’s hard to walk especially really slippery!

Yes you can swim was there a couple weeks ago. My son and I both jumped off multiple cliff ledges and the water is 38Β° year round. If you go definitely take full advantage of the experience and go swimming.

Any time of year is beautiful. There is HEAVY use in the summer, personally I like week days in the spring and fall because there is fewer people. Be advised no time of year is a good time to swim in it. The water wells up from deep under ground and is extreme cold. Not to be grave but people have died jumping in.
