7.2 miles from house. About 1.5 mile hike to the location. Beautiful clean clear water. Plenty of areas to set up for the day. If you’re looking specifically to go to Hoyts Crossing, be warned that there are A LOT of naked men. Not in a gross way, everyone was respectful, but something to be aware of.

Favorite river spot! Moderately deep emerald water, lots of room to swim. Parking fills up by mid day - get there early. You can get down to the rocks/water on the side of the bridge. Recommend water shoes.
