Cedar Creek pool information is not creek permission
The official activities page describes a seasonal heated outdoor pool. This directory record historically concerned informal creek entries, which remain unverified. A published pool or fishing activity does not establish permission to swim in the creek; lack of confirmation is not evidence of a ban.
Plan the separate pool visit
The published pool schedule runs from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend, noon to 6:45 p.m. Confirm current operation, admission and supervision before travelling. That summer schedule does not promise an October opening. Camping, bathhouses and picnic facilities have their own access arrangements.
Withdrawn creek directions
The old campsite-T3 route is not provided as a current swimming approach. The official trail inventory describes creek fishing access, but does not establish those historic swimming entries. Do not cross occupied campsites or infer permission from a trail alongside water.
Contact and photo context
The trail page lists 304-462-8517 and 2947 Cedar Creek Road, Glenville, WV 26351. These are park planning details, not a verified water entry. Ask staff what access is permitted. The five-photo gallery shows general park scenery, including a pond, trail, school memorial and wildlife, not an independently located creek swimming hole.
Getting There
Contact staff and use the official map. The former campsite-T3 instructions are withdrawn, not a current creek swimming route.
Quick Navigation
Access Notes
For park arrival while hauling a camper, the manager recommends Route 5 through Glenville rather than Cedarville and Copen Road. Navigate to the park at 2947 Cedar Creek Road and follow current check-in instructions. This is campground arrival advice, not a restored route to the unverified historical creek swimming entries.

Parking & Access

Regulations & Fees
Follow posted pool requirements. Pool operation and creek fishing references do not establish creek swimming permission. Public park access does not necessarily include permission to swim. Respect private property and posted restrictions.
Seasonality & Flow
