It's a nice place to have fun with the Family. The water was crystal clear, cold perfect for the hot weather. Water temperature 55* out was 105*.
Just make sure to get your $5 pass otherwise you will get a ticket. Make sure to get there early open at 9amand closes at 5: 00pm

This place is so beautiful. This place brings back a lot of good memories of when I was a kid.

Parking pass required. Purchase available at gate entry point or at Ranger Station 3 miles before picnic area on the right side of the road. Active military annual passes, 4th grader passes, and veteran lifetime passes also available at Ranger Station for free.

Area is right on the creek, no hiking required. Parking availability is decent, wasn't crowded at all on a Sunday. Rangers do patrol the lot and will ticket vehicles without passes. The creek current is pretty heavy, smaller children definitely need adults to help cross and supervise playing. Small community BBQs are available.

Restrooms are shared men/women. They're very wet, slippery, smelly, and nasty. I recommend using restrooms prior to entering picnic area, bringing portable children potty's, or going into town. 0/10 rating for restroom cleanliness.

Lytle creek is always nice and cool. Every summer I go there with my grandchild to be away from the heat.

Very nice relaxing place to be with the family, but you have to use it. Voice so that they can hear us, the bathrooms are disgusting, they should do something about it, since they charge and it's fair

Friendly staff, make sure to get a parking pass. You have to be gone before 5: because they lock the gate.

A good place to cool off during spring and summer just be careful when the river turns rapid after the snow melts.

Excellent small place to spend a quiet afternoon. Hardly anyone on a weekday. The sound of the stream is a nice way to relax and get away from any stress you have going on.
