About Tree Farm Park
Tree Farm Park in Oregon offers a refreshing contrast to the state's famous hot springs with its crisp, cold spring waters. This primitive swimming hole delivers a serene, unspoiled atmosphere where you can immerse yourself in nature's quiet beauty alongside chutes and small falls. The deep pools invite a cool dip any time of year, making it a distinctive spot among Oregon swimming holes.
Getting There
You reach Tree Farm Park by traveling east on Route 20, about 0.3 miles past a closed bridge, then turning onto an unsigned dirt loop road on the left. Parking is limited and informal, so arriving early helps secure a spot. From the parking area, it’s a brief 5-minute walk downhill to the riverbank.
What to Expect
The water here is cold and invigorating, ideal for cooling off or peaceful reflection. The river forms natural deep pools and small cascades, offering a variety of depths for wading or swimming. You’ll likely find the area quiet with few visitors, and no developed facilities, so the experience feels raw and close to nature.
Tips for Visitors
Visit during the warmer months or year-round if you don’t mind chilly water. Bring sturdy shoes for the short walk and be prepared for limited parking. Since the site is primitive and clothing optional, respect for privacy and the natural environment is essential. There is no fee, but plan accordingly as there are no restrooms or amenities nearby.
