WALKING AND WILD SWIMMING SAFETY
Walking and wild swimming are not dangerous pursuits and we choose our locations with our guests’ safety in mind. However, neither activity is without its risks. We will always make decisions according to local weather conditions, water levels and flow. It is also important to take responsibility for yourself, to know your limits and to inform us of any health issues that may affect your ability to participate in the activities.
