We loved the quiet trail which turns into quite the adventure when we found the rapids. A surprisingly challenging hike with a few hills and roots.

Easy one mile hike from parking lot shoals. Take bug spray and drinking water. It's a beautiful trek through pines and oaks.

Although it's very high right now it's still a good place to hike and picnic

Great park for a hike or a picnic. It's about a 2.5 mile hike to the shoals.

An you swim here?

The water runs very fast in some areas. Even a skilled swimmer could be washed down stream. If you decide to swim check out the area carefully. I, personally would not.
