Farindale is a historical crossing, not a confirmed beach
The old record places the swimming spot where Route 167 crosses the Saline River south of Sheridan. It supplies no named public entrance. A saved map result for Farindale identifies the locality, not parking or a lawful bank route. Do not navigate to a town point expecting a managed swim area.
Check the bank and parking before leaving the road
Ask the responsible land or road authority about the specific intended entrance. No current closure was established, but roadside parking, unrestricted swimming and free entry are not confirmed. Do not stop on a bridge or follow an informal pullout simply because it appears in an old account.
Use Saline River information at its actual location
Benton guidance is not a Farindale water test
AGFC's Saline River Water Trail describes named accesses around Benton and separates paddling conditions by flow. That information is useful for a different named river outing; it does not establish bathing access at this downstream crossing. Its Benton gauge is not a Farindale depth survey or bacteria result.
Arrange services and overnight stays separately
Toilets, drinking water and supervision at the historical bank have not been confirmed. Marks' Mills Battleground State Park is a separate historic destination, not proof of campsite availability. Do not rely on the old recommendation to camp there without a current authorized booking. Choose land-based sightseeing if water entry remains unresolved.
Getting There
Do not follow the archived Route 167 bridge account as current swimming navigation. Confirm a named permitted entrance before leaving the road.

Access Notes

Plan Your Visit
Parking & Access

Regulations & Fees
Use the named destination's current rules and condition notices. No unverified jumping, diving, slides or rope swings recommended. Public park access does not necessarily include permission to swim. Respect private property and posted restrictions.
Seasonality & Flow
Water conditions can change quickly. This listing does not provide a current safety or water-quality assessment. Check official alerts and avoid entering water when conditions or permission are uncertain.
Nearby Facilities
Nearby places from saved public map data, not necessarily facilities at the swimming spot. Confirm access, hours, fees, and amenities with the operator before you drive.

Frequently Asked Questions About Farindale
Is Farindale a named public swimming beach?
No current manager-supported beach or exact bathing entrance was established.
Does the town map pin locate the pool?
No. A locality result cannot identify permitted riverbank access or parking.
Can I park beside the Route 167 bridge?
Legal parking at the historical crossing needs confirmation; do not stop on the bridge or invent a shoulder entrance.
Can I use Benton river-gauge advice here?
Use it only in its stated river-trail context, not as a downstream swim-safety or water-quality clearance.
Are toilets and drinking water available?
No current site-specific inventory is verified. Confirm services and carry essentials.
Can I camp at Marks' Mills after a swim?
The old campground suggestion is not verified. Arrange an authorized overnight stay independently.
