About this swimming hole

Garfield Falls drops 40 feet on the East Inlet into a rocky pool that reviewers describe as nice for easy swimming. A short, easy one-mile trail reaches the falls after an 11-mile drive down the gravel Magalloway Road through logging country. One hiking guide lists swimming as not allowed, while many visitors report swimming in the pools, so respect posted signage.
