About this swimming hole
Clear Creek winds through this small park, with a CCC-built pool area and shaded swimming spots along the creek. It is better known for golf and barbecue-town proximity than swimming, but the creek pools are a cool local secret. Water levels depend on rain, so it is best after a wet spring.
