*** Review is during COVID-19 ***…read more It was another summer day where we were looking for something fun to do outside, had heard about this swimming hole through the grapevine, and thought we'd check it out. As usual, it was a little confusing to get there (why are the locations of places like this SO HARD to find?!?!). I think at the very last turn, our directions said to go left when we were supposed to go right, or something like that. I think maybe it was trying to take us to the canoe rental, also called/ under the name Cowskin. Kind of an interesting spot because it's near/ under a highway (or some kind of road?) bridge. Not too many people, maybe one or two bigger groups of people and then a handful more of groups of 2 or 3 people. Some of the smaller groups were really only just passing by via canoes or rafts, anyway. The river definitely has space to spread out far past the "entrance" if you want to keep plenty of distance between you and others there. The water is decently clear, and seemed pretty clean. The deeper parts of course weren't as clear because there's more water between you and the ground, but even then you can still kind of see your feet touching the bottom. That deepest part went about to my waist. There may be deeper parts than this further down, but we didn't stray too far away from the "entrance". There's a nice current as well as areas that are more still, so it's great for adapting to different water activities, depending on if you want to float away (on a boat or just on your own) or just stay in place and kind of wade around. Some places also had a little island in the middle, creating two different streams but also a place where you could hang around out of the water, other than the entrance spot. The surrounding area, from what we saw, was pretty empty. I say this to say: if you think you might make a day of it/ need food at some point, maybe bring some of your own. I could be wrong, but I really don't remember seeing ANYWHERE where you could grab anything (food or otherwise) nearby.

Longs Resort & Fish Haven is AMAZING!!! Not only do you have gracious hosts who treat you like…read morefamily, the cabins they have are simply awesome. They've recently updated all cabins and built a brand new one, that I cannot rave enough about. My 2 night stay there at the end of April was not enough. The view is beautiful, the cabin is just the right amount of quaintness with modern amenities. My husband and I stayed her for our wedding anniversary, I cannot wait to go back! VERY peaceful. The resort has a launch ramp and boat dock. They have ice available for purchase and can make recommendations on where to eat, things to do etc. So whether you want to just 'chill' on the lake, fish from shore or go on a lake excursion for your fishing, Longs has it all! Oh, and did I mention each cabin has a kitchen so you can 'eat in' and never have to leave the peacefulness of the resort?!?!?!?!?

The resort we stayed at all those years ago is gone now, so we were looking for something similar... a cozy, quiet cabin, not a motel or busy atmosphere. We found Long's and it was fantastic. The owners (who knew it was our anniversary) even presented us with an anniversary card and chocolates. The cabin had all the amenities, was extremely clean, decorated cute, and was very comfortable. Would be great for a family vacation and very reasonably priced. Highly recommend.

We have a 37' RV so sometimes it's hard to find an RV park with spaces large enough. They have plenty of large, flat spaces, and it's always been very clean. The pool is cleaned daily & they keep beautiful potted plants by the pool as well. The outside restrooms/showers have been updated and are beautiful and clean, too.

I only mention this because it rained and some people got out and called for pick up. This is the most mellow laid back creek we have floated on. It was almost like we had the whole place to ourselves. We did the shorter one, got put in around 10 am and we're out a little after 12pm. Perfect for kids first float! They do go up to 12 miles. Rafts we're all in good condition and bus was super comfy!
