My recommendation is to park at the Art Loeb trailhead parking lot float down to Sycamore Flats Recreational Area. If you only have one vehicle, park at the Art Loeb trailhead parking lot and walk the exercise trail that follows the river alongside the Davidson River Campground and put the tubes in at the campgrounds swimming hole, then float back to your vehicle.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-14fac58 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"14fac58\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Swimming<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8c73387 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8c73387\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Davidson River has sensational swimming holes.

Do you have little ones not ready for the deep swimming holes?
