Cedar Creek swimming: distinguish the pool from the creek
The park publishes information about an outdoor swimming pool. This historical directory record instead described informal creek entries near the campground. Those entries and their current swimming permission have not been verified. The pool listing does not establish that creek swimming is allowed, and missing confirmation is not evidence of a ban.
The separate pool
The official activities page describes a heated outdoor pool with a Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend schedule, noon to 6:45 p.m. Confirm current operation, admission and supervision with the park before travel. That published summer schedule does not establish October availability.
Creek access remains unresolved
Earlier directions told visitors to start near campsite T3 and find pools along a 3.2-mile trail. Those details were not corroborated by the current official trail page and have been withdrawn. Ask staff about permitted creek access; do not cross occupied campsites or choose a water entry based on the old instructions.
Camping and day visits
The park lists camping, bathhouses and picnic facilities. Confirm seasonal availability and day-use rules separately. These amenities do not demonstrate a maintained swimming area in the creek.
Official information
Check the official activities page and trail information. Do not rely on previous claims about water depth, gentle currents or safe swimming seasons.
Getting There
Use the current official park map and contact park staff about permitted creek access. The previous campsite-T3 approach is unverified and should not be used as a swimming route.
Quick Navigation
Access Notes
No verified creek entry is provided. A campground or pool parking area does not establish permission to enter the creek.
