Correction -- that's the Hoyts Trail and the sign is posting of Hoyt's Crossing. Went there yesterday. It is definitely co-ed along with families/kids. Suprisingly there were a few nude guys in the crowd, but definitely no action other than just swimming. Nice place, but I think the site downstream from the Bloomfield Road bridge is better -- but may be harder to find.

Take the Hydes Trail at the opposite end of the lower bridge from the parking lot. Hike for about 20 min till you see the sign that reads no camping, no glass containers, no campfires. Head toward the water. Bring goggles. The beach is co-ed. Watch out for mountain lions. ;o)

Yeah, I went up there a couple of weeks ago and could not find the spot myself. Anyone have an exact map or directions on how to get there? It was beautiful land.

Do you hike UPSTREAM or DOWNSTREAM from the HW49 bridge? Thought I'd go there tomorrow around noon. Was anyone else planning to be there?
