This place is a true oasis in the forest. The waterfall tumbles just seven feet from the rocky spot in the creek and empties into a deep pool that’s perfect for swimming.

It’s a popular spot for locals and visitors alike. There’s plenty of room to lounge about on the banks, and the water is nice and cool. Tall fir and cedar trees provide plenty of shade - the perfect respite on a hot day.
