About Finn Rock
Finn Rock offers refreshing cold spring waters nestled along the McKenzie River in Oregon. This primitive spring stands out for its natural swimming holes, perfect for those seeking a cool escape on a hot day. The clear, brisk water invites a crisp, invigorating dip amid peaceful, forested surroundings.
Getting There
You reach Finn Rock by heading about 30 miles east of Springfield on Route 126. After crossing the river bridge near Quartz Creek Road, turn left into the parking area adjacent to the boat launch. The parking is ample and free, with only a short 5-minute walk to the river’s edge, making it accessible yet still tucked away.
What to Expect
At Finn Rock, the water stays cold year-round, creating a lively spot to swim and cool off during the summer months. The atmosphere is quiet and authentic, with minimal facilities, allowing you to immerse yourself fully in nature’s embrace. The area can see visitors during warmer days, but space by the water remains generous.
Tips for Visitors
Summer is the ideal season to visit when the water temperature strikes a comfortable balance. Bring water shoes to navigate the rocky riverbed and towels to dry off after your swim. Note that the site is clothing optional, and no fees apply, but carry out all trash to maintain the pristine environment.
