Turn right to stay on Tomlin Hill Road. After about 1.5 miles, there will be a right turn-off to a private parking area, where you’ll pass by some houses and get to a wooded parking area. Find the trailhead that is to your far left, about 100 feet. This will be a windy path downhill for 15 minutes; when the trail forks - take the fork on the right to a dry creek bed full of rocks. You will go to your right on this creek bed for another 10 minutes, ending up at the swimming hole. Enjoy!
