Reviews of Amidon Memorial Conservation Area
"Unreal. Cannot wait to go again. Daughters (7&9) had a blast. Beautiful water, amazing scenery, and cool relaxation. We had the place to ourselves for 2+ hours."
"Beautiful area that the Castor River flows through and contains the shut ins. Not many county or forest roads in the conservation area. Low clearance vehicles should access from the west on 208. To the east on 208/928 has several water crossings."
"Shaded trail into the shut-ins. Easy climb over the rocks to get to swimming pools and mini waterfalls"
"The Castor River Shut-ins can be accessed withing this conservation area. Highly recommend taking the .25 to .5 mile trail to get there. I forgot to grab a pic of the lot, but unless the place is very crowded, the lot is plenty big. The path to the shut-ins is mostly flat and mulched until you get to the river. There it gets very rocky, so wear good shoes. The drive to this area is very pretty with a lot of pasture and and a wooded canopy over most stretches of the paver road."
"Such a beautiful place. Although found a few items of trash on the trail. A place to get away and reconnect with nature as the cool water brings you back in the moment. Great for climbing, swimming, hiking, and kid friendly. A lot of swallow areas but also some strong rapids after it rains. Please pick up after yourself when leaving to ensure this wonderful place remains beautiful."
