Drive west out Clear Creek Road in southern Redding and head for the Clear Creek overlook. There is a pavilion and picnic tables, bathrooms, it is very nice. Walk the trails to discover this canyon that is rugged yet accessible and a great swimming opportunity. Fun for kids, teens, adults. So beautiful! More

We were taking a drive to see all the hot spots in Redding, well we noticed this was a great place to swim. Take the family and go swimming, free for parking and beautiful place! Not sure what else you could ask for beside people picking up their own trash to keep it nice! More
