"Beautiful trail through the redwoods, along the railroad tracks and down to the river. A few other small groups of people down there, but plenty of room for all to enjoy. The water was cool. Alot of shallow parts for the little kids to play in and a bunch of deeper swimming holes. Hike back up well get your blood pumping. Well worth the trip!"
"Beautiful place to swim. Very refreshing!!! We parked by the street at Oxford rd trail and walked 17 minutes to find this beautiful place. Worth the walked! No dogs allowed."
"This place is such a GEM. My boyfriend and I enjoyed it. It’s very beautiful and the scenery is amazing. It can get crowded ( it’s beautiful) but you can explore if you need quiet.Depending on where you park, shouldn’t take you more than 30 mins to walk there."
"I had visit this place on December/27/2020. Spoony me.....I was looking for the garden with a lot of flowers but after about 1.5 miles hiking in, and I found out.... The name Garden of Eden is a misnomer. There is no garden but a beautiful forest and scenery river flowing through it. It was a bit confusing because no sign board or gate. It is a small pool and boulders, very awesome spot if you love water holes. The hike along the train tracks is lovely and a lot of fun. 99 percent of the trail is shaded,super easy, and not many people. Wish I had gone when it was warmer to enjoy swimming! It’s totally worth the effort."
