Fossil Creek: ULTIMATE Arizona Swimming Hole

  • Fossil Creek is one of the best swimming hole recreation areas in Arizona. The beautiful clear blue water, cliff jumping spots and travertine caves make this area an amazing place to explore. Despite getting crowded during peak season, there are several un-named swimming holes along the creek to allow you to find your own private spot to swim. The most popular spots on Fossil Creek include: Irving Flume, Fossil Creek Waterfall, The Old Fossil Creek Dam and The Toilet Bowl. I absolutely DO NOT RECOMMEND doing the TOILET BOWL. Permits are required for day use between April 1st - October 1st. Keep this place clean and take out all your garbage with you.

    Hi!!! Thank you for this amazing video, my husband and I enjoyed it!! We now want to take our kiddos.
    Question:
    Where do we get the permit? And how long is the hike?

    • @JesseStLouis
      @JesseStLouis  Před 4 lety +2

      Check the National Forest website for the permit information and the length of the hike was a few miles and pretty flat.

    Did you do both trails the same day? It appears that the Waterfall Trail and the Spring Trail are separated by a closed section of road.

      Every parking spot is at a spot on the creek. You have to hike to get to the biggest waterfalls though.

      Cause the exit is small and hard to see even with goggles. I bumped and scraped me head on it and a week after I was there a guy died in it
