Taneum Creek

Taneum Creek: verify the pool before traveling

This listing comes from a historical visitor account of an unnamed roadside pool. The account does not establish a current public entrance, maintained trail or safe swimming area. Its depth estimate and description of a sandy bank are historical observations, not measurements visitors should rely on today.

Access remains unresolved

The old route describes a pull-off after Thorp Cemetery Road without a distance or identifying sign. Do not use its instruction to pass through a log jam. Logs, moving water and changing creek channels make an old route unreliable. Confirm the exact location and lawful approach with the land manager; do not jump or dive based on the old pool description. Clothing-optional use has not been verified.

Taneum Campground is a different destination

The campground operator lists Taneum Campground at 7719 West Taneum Road, with first-come non-electric camping, vault toilets and water spigots. Its entrance includes a concrete creek ford. Check current conditions with the operator before attempting that approach. The published early-June to early-September season is not a confirmation that camping or water service is available now.

The campground's facilities and directions do not verify this unnamed swimming pool. Do not substitute the campground map point for a water entry. Use the operator page for camping details, current rates and contact information rather than the historical swimming directions.

Before you go

Parking permission, swimming suitability, pool facilities and a reliable approach remain unconfirmed. Choose a separately documented destination if you cannot establish access. Respect private property and closures, and keep away from log jams. No safe-swimming season or present pool depth is asserted by this guide.
