Our Canyon Access Pass is $18 per person for a full day in the canyon— and it's what gets you in the water, not a separate pool ticket. Campsites, the Farmhouse, and deck/patio reservations are booked separately, so every overnight guest still needs a pass ($18/person per night) to swim and use the canyon.

Hours
Before you come
Do you provide rock climbing equipment or guides?
No. Bring your own rope, harness and shoes — the 234 routes are bolted, so you will not place protection, but we do not rent equipment and we do not guide.
Can I have a fire?
No. Fires are not allowed anywhere in the canyon — no campfires, charcoal or open flame, at campsites, picnic sites, RV sites or the farmhouse. The canyon floor is deep in fallen leaves and cottonwood down, so this is a permanent rule and not a seasonal restriction.
Can I park in the canyon?
Only with a campsite or picnic site reservation. The county and the fire department limit how many vehicles are allowed down there, so a reservation is what buys the parking spot.
Why do I have to sign a waiver?
Our insurance carrier requires it. Every adult signs for themselves; a parent or legal guardian signs for anyone under 18. You only sign once — it does not expire, though a minor signs again for themselves at 18.
What time is the Lava Grill open?
Daily, 11am to 6pm — shorter than the canyon's own hours, so plan lunch rather than a late dinner.
Do you have showers?
Yes. They were remodelled recently and have hot water.
Can I bring my own food?
Yes. There is no charge to bring a cooler, though most people end up at the Lava Grill anyway. NO GLASS in the pool area — no exceptions.
Is alcohol allowed?
In some places. Not in the pool area; you may have it at your campsite or picnic site.
Is smoking allowed?
Not in the canyon. We ask smokers to go to the top of the canyon so it does not reach anyone else.
Can I bring my dog?
No animals of any kind in the canyon, with the exception of ADA service animals. Under the ADA a service animal is one individually trained to do work or perform tasks for a person with a disability; emotional support animals do not qualify.
Can I drive an RV or trailer into the canyon?
No — the road down is too steep, and people do get stuck. RV sites are at the top of the canyon instead.
Can we take crawdads home?
No. This is catch and release. The crawdads go back in the creek — they do not survive outside it, and they are what the next family comes to find.
Do you take credit cards?
Yes, all major cards.
Groups of 10+ get passes for $13/person (27% off) and 30+ for $9/person (50% off) — advance purchase required. Everyone 18+ signs a liability waiver before entering the canyon — sign online ahead of time and walk straight in. After-hours private pool rentals available: call (435) 574-2300.
