Sycamore Creek

43comments

Sycamore Creek has several natural pools used for skinny-dipping. The area attracts mostly men and has a strong gay presence. Crowds can range from just a feww or zero during the week to twenty on peak weekends. The creek gets peak use during spring and fall since it is iften dry in summer. Usually the little water left in the pools in summer is stagnant. Nude swimming and sunbathing are quite common here, but non-nudists sometimes show up too. The canyon is often cruisy. Be sure you take plenty of drinking water with you; it gets extremely hot here. The site is about an hour from Phoenix. 12/16/04

I know that the area was temporarily closed because of the recent fire, but according to the forest service all the closures for the area have been lifted. I'm just wondering if anyone can confirm this. It's a great area and definitely one of my favorite areas. Thanks
