I checked the park website but only see info about fishing ponds, where I assume they frown upon swimming. Any good swimming holes nearby?

If you've got a quiet spot you'd prefer to stay quiet, please PM me instead.

I don't know, but if they did, the water would be very cold..

I don't know of any state park rules or regs based on smiles and frowns. It is either permitted or not. You can jump in the river in Eldo when the water is raging and ice cold if you like. But, if you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough.
