Diver’s Hole

Limited parking is available on the edge of a narrow road, so please make sure to park outside the white line. An incline leads to a sought-after spot that attracts both swimmers and divers. There is a small beach where you can prepare for your dive, or if you prefer, you can cross the river to access a larger beach. As this is a river dive, there may be a current to contend with.

Discover a diverse range of marine life in this location, including Turtles, Coho Salmon, Trout, Lamprey, Steelhead, Cutthroat, and Chinook.

Parking is limited and situated on the roadside. Remember to park outside the white line. Access to the dive site is via a steep trail that is suitable for both swimmers and divers. After parking your vehicle, walk down the path to a small beach, which can serve as your staging area. Alternatively, you have the option to cross the river to a larger beach located on the other side. Please keep in mind that space is limited at this site and it can become crowded. Therefore, it's recommended to only bring down what you intend to use. The entry into the water gradually deepens until it reaches approximately 30 feet. The dive site extends further upstream from the trail, leading to a fish ladder. Be aware that as this is a river dive, there may be some current, although it is typically weak during the summer months.
