Much of the information on this web site is derived from other sources - such as hiking and travel books, magazine articles, publications, emails from visitors and other internet sites. The intent is to relay this information as accurately as possible rather than directing the public to use these swimming holes. The existence of private property or other matters of legality may have been inadvertently omitted or may be inexact in some cases. An on-site visit to each place has not been done, and even when done, property ownership or legality is sometimes not evident or has changed. Negative impacts or increased liability to private property owners is unintended. When this is brought to light by bona-fide sources, prompt action is taken to add this information to the listing or otherwise resolve the matter on a case-by-case basis.

T HE FINE PRINT: The information presented is compiled from many sources with varying degrees of reliability. Local conditions also change over time. Accuracy of the information and the safety and legality of visiting these places cannot be assured. Each visitor is personally responsible for safety and legality (including observance of private property ) each time a place is visited. Also, inappropriate behavior continuously reduces access to these special places - don't contribute to this tragic loss!
