Q:
Coming in from the Vogel State Park side, has anyone met oncoming traffic and is there passing room? We came in from the other way which seemed wider. We checked it out and weren’t sure we should go out that way so we went back out the way where we had to cross the creeks.
A:
There is passing room and the road is in decent shape
Q:
How long does it take to get to the swimming hole? And isit a hard hike?
A:
The drive is longer than the hike itself. The drive is about 2 miles down a long winding dirt road. The hike is about 1/2 mile from the parking area.
Q:
How bad is the dirt road to get there? I don’t have a 4WD so am concerned. Thanks!
A:
Any standard car can make it .... just go slow when it gets a bit bumpy
Q:
