Pool Condition
Source on SR 55 Side
The large 'party pool' is rock and mud walled with a sludgy bottom
laden with sharp rocks and bits of broken glass.
Source on other side of creek
The rock and mud walled pools on the far side of the creek have
clearer water but temperatures that prohibit soaking because they
are either way too hot or cold. |

I think that once upon a time McCredie was a great place. It is
sadly overused and abused with an abundance of trash and traffic
despite nighttime closure. Vehicle break-ins, pervert truckers,
legions of RVers and non-stop partying lead to the demise of at
least the pools accessible from State Route 55. The pools on the
other side of the wide creek yield to a much quieter environment but
unfortunately not a good soak due to either scalding hot or freezing
cold temperatures.
