06.24.04
I think that once upon a time McCredie was a great place. It is  sadly overused and abused with an abundance of trash and traffic despite nighttime closure. Vehicle break-ins, pervert truckers, legions of RVers and non-stop partying lead to the demise of at least the pools accessible from State Route 55. The pools on the other side of the wide creek yield to a much quieter environment but unfortunately not a good soak due to either scalding hot or freezing cold temperatures.

PUBLIC BATHING NOTICE

No Soap, Shampoo or BIO-Soap/Shampoo Allowed in Hot Springs! Avoid Being Fined!

Public hot springs are not bathing facilities and do not have 'plumbing' like that of commercial, improved hot springs. Soap and shampoo (including biodegradable soap and shampoo) do not completely breakdown naturally. This pollutes our water systems (ingested by fish, animals, humans) at or near the source. This is also illegal in most wilderness and public lands areas.
