About Bedrock
Bedrock in Oregon offers a cool, refreshing escape with its large, six-foot-deep swimming hole nestled under a bridge by the North Fork campground. This cold spring stands out among hot springs in Oregon for those seeking a crisp dip surrounded by forest tranquility.
Getting There
To reach Bedrock, drive about two miles from Clark Creek and follow signs to Bedrock Campground. The swimming hole lies just beneath the bridge at the campground entrance, making it accessible without any hiking. Parking is limited and mostly reserved for campers, so plan accordingly.
What to Expect
Expect clear, cold water that invigorates as you swim in this natural basin. The setting is peaceful, shaded by trees and framed by the creek, though the area can feel crowded if the campground fills up. Facilities are minimal, so the experience remains close to nature and unspoiled.
Tips for Visitors
Visit Bedrock in summer when the water is most inviting. Bring your own snacks and water since amenities are scarce. Respect parking rules and consider camping if you want easier access, as day-use spots are uncertain. No fees are posted, but check locally to confirm.
