McGill Pool
McGill is a managed seasonal pool, not an unrestricted natural spring. White Pine County identifies the pool on US 93 in McGill; its published 2026 opening and regular hours belong to that operating season, not to year-round access.
Choose the county pool, not a wild spring
The county's seasonal outdoor facility is the destination supported by the saved McGill place record and historical town approach. A photograph of its pool does not establish current staffing, opening or water conditions.
Read the season as well as the weekly hours
The published May 22 opening and Thursday through Sunday schedule describe 2026 operations. The separate facility directory places the usual season between Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day, weather permitting. Call 775-235-7600 before an off-season trip.
Budget for admission and a park visit
The county fee page lists paid swimming admission and family rates. Park shade and picnic facilities are useful trip context, but pool access, concessions and recreation equipment depend on actual operating rules.

See the managed pool setting
The saved photograph shows the pool from a shaded sandy edge, with trees and recreation structures across the water.

Use the county's actual seasonal schedule and facility rules when planning a swim.
Getting There
Use the county's McGill Pool entrance on US 93. Confirm seasonal opening before following the archived Dairy Road/Main Street approach.

Plan Your Visit
Parking & Access
Confirm the entrance, parking arrangements, and legal access with the land manager. A map pin does not establish a public right of access. Follow posted routes and never block gates or driveways.
Regulations & Fees
Swim only when the county facility is open and staff authorizes the activity. Follow posted pool, slide and diving-board rules; no wild-spring or unattended after-hours access is implied. 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.
What to Bring
Bring sturdy water shoes to protect your feet on rocks and slippery surfaces. A waterproof dry bag keeps your phone, keys, and valuables safe. Pack a quick-dry towel, sun protection, and drinking water - never drink from the natural water source.
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.
