Best for families with older kids
Plenty of rocks to climb and shallow sandy spots exist, but the hike and swift current sections suit.
Arrive early for parking and spots
The lot has limited spaces and popular riverbank areas fill quickly on nice days and weekends.
Expect a moderately strenuous hike
The trail involves multiple sets of stairs and takes about an hour round trip from the parking area.
Check water level before swimming
High water narrows beach areas and increases current; low water reveals more sandy spots and safer shallow areas.
