Nestled in the base of Oak Creek
Canyon is a large cliff side swimming
hole known as Grasshopper Point.
This day use site is popular with
swimmers and picnickers alike. The
swimming hole is shaded and cool, a good respite
from the summer heat.
There are three popular trails accessible from the
Grasshopper Point parking lot: Allen's Bend goes
north and connects with Casner Canyon
Trail. Allen's Bend also goes south and connects with
Huckaby Trail.
Attractions: Picnicking, waterplay, hiking, fishing,
wildlife watching, photography
Caution: Cliff jumping and diving are discouraged for
personal safety. The pool has varying depths, hidden
rocks and unforeseen objects that could be
hazardous.
