We time our drives north to arrive around 1, to let kids have a swim before we continue north. Great pool. Clean with good people following the rules.

Pool is clean and cool, very refreshing! The big mural on the building is great... But, that filtration tank is butt ugly! How much does a gallon of paint cost? Also, I didn’t See any skimmers. There are bugs and gross slime in the pool! And, can we please have a new rule.., “No screaming!” Screaming Kids are just irritating! Still, nice pool!

Dunsmuir Pool has been around for at least 30 years alot longer im sure. Its has always been a historical point of interest for all of us who live in dunsmuir. Its truly a great place to swim and chill out . Usually have very kind and safe lifeguards. Its usually very clean and no harassment or to much running around pool or rough housing in water or around pool. You can have fun and play or swim or float whatever you like just have respect for others. Be sanitary and safe.. Enjoy the historical Dunsmuir Pool where i learned to swim when i was 5years old had my 1st swimming lesson.. Lol i still remember how cold it was as a kid HaHa good times.. And of course after or during your swim take a 2.min walk over to the burger stand and enjoy all the good stuff a burger stand offers.. Great town... GREAT PEOPLE.. Great memories...
