The depth may change rapidly and children need constant supervision. PLEASE NOTE: Any body of water is potentially dangerous for young children or anyone who does not know how to swim! There is no lifeguard. Kids under 12 must be accompanied by an adult at the creek. There is a clothing required and a clothing optional beach.
