Swim: allowed.

Can I go right now?
Same quick read as the top of Conditions: weather and river can update from public data when it is available; crowd, trail, and similar lines stay from the guide. For hourly detail, water sections, and sources, open Conditions.
- Weather: Mostly Clear, 31°F. National Weather Service forecast, updated Apr 7, 1:06 AM.
- Quarry pool: No live depth feed. Still water in a flooded pit—judge depth, cold, and visibility only from what you see on site.
- Crowd & parking: Seasonal demand. Hot holiday weekends stack visitors—arrive with patience and a backup plan.

GPS clarification

Seasonal note. Outside the general Memorial Day–Columbus Day window, assume the quarry is not operating for swimming unless the operator explicitly says otherwise.
