Looking for more summer swimming spots to add to your list? Look no further than Naked Falls, a truly picturesque series of swimming holes and waterfalls located along the Washougal River.

Naked Falls has long been beloved by the people of Stevenson, Washington, for its beauty and versatility. You have the option of simply relaxing in the swimming pools, sunning yourself on the rocks, having a picnic, or getting adventurous by exploring the cliffs.

You can of course try all four, and you also have the option of camping overnight on the property should you choose.

Camping must be reserved online in advance. There are multiple sites, each able to accommodate either tents or RVs/camper vans.

According to Visit Washougal, “Naked Falls offers multiple cliff jumping from various heights, waterfall slides, and plenty of dry rock space for picnics and sunbathing. Aside from the challenge of the short-but-steep trail accessing the river from the road, the location is well suited for all ages.”

There are a few rules that need to be followed when visiting. The first few basic rules should go without saying, no littering, respect the property, don’t remove items from the falls and you are responsible for your own actions.

Some of the more detailed rules include no jumping from trees because, well, safety. You should also refrain from “shenanigans” but the other rule is to have fun.

Oh, and you need a parking pass which can either be purchased online or at the Washougal River Mercantile.

With that, happy & safe swimming!
