Rating: C

Upper Long Valley is a small swimming hole that is occasionally used for nude or topless swimming or sunbathing on weekdays, when there's enough water in the creek and nobody else is present.

 

Legal status: 

Unknown.


How to find it:

To Lower Long Valley: Check for the beach around two miles west of Cache Creek Bridge, near mile marker 34.94 on Highway 20, just east of New Long Valley Road. Park and walk upstream to a tiny clothing-optional swimming hole that is hidden from the road. Once there, find Upper Long Valley by walking a few sandy banks upstream.

 

The beach:

A sun-washed shoal next to a cool, invigorating creek that's visited by a few local residents and travelers.


The crowd:

Like Lower Long Valley, this site gets infrequent traffic.


Problems:

Area subject to law enforcement; directions need improvement; unknown legal status.
