    Default 3 Forks Trail: campsites and waterfalls swim?

    Is water clean enough to swim in the creek or waterfalls at 3 Forks Trail?

    Going w my 6 year old, he can hike no more than 2 miles I think. Suggestions where to park and camp or park and short hike to camp near waterfalls?

    Thank you!

    Yes the water is clean enough to swim. There is a campsite a couple of hundred miles from the falls and many more between the parking area and the falls. Great area for a first hike.

    I was going to suggest that tombolino not underestimate the ability of a 6 year old, as my little guy handled about 4-5 miles quite well. But I think this campsite might truly be out of reach!!!
