Is the water safe to swim in at One Mile?

Dave Richardson | Aug 26, 2022
julia cheek | Aug 26, 2022

Yes, it's safe. It's river water. It was used back in the day as a sluice to gather gold from my understanding. It's not to drink like any other river, just to swim and cool off.

I'm not sure what year I do know it's been open to the public for at least 30 years now if not more

Does it have bbqs

Sheyenne Boychuck | Sep 10, 2019
Lena Bowers | Sep 10, 2019

Yes, they do. And if you go through the gate entrance off Vallombrosa (just before Bruce Rd) they have several spots that have bbqs that are really nice as well!

How cold is the pool during the summer?

Ashley | Sep 10, 2018
charlotte roberts | Sep 10, 2018

Being that it is a natural river it remains pretty cool but if the sun is on it throughout the day it can be around 65° in late afternoons depending on how hot the day was. But most would say it's a refreshing swim.
