No water yet (June 2). But the outhouses were clean enough and had fresh toilet paper. Poison Oak is profuse. I didn't hike down to swimming hole. Water is a little hight than usual. But beach on other side is exposed.

Awesome swimming hole, however this year (2023) the area has been largely filled in with sand due to a landslide up river.
