Hoyt’s Crossing

"Look for the trailhead at the northern end of the bridge (over 49) that leads to Hoyt's Crossing. Follow the trail about a mile to the crossing that is also accessible via Independence Trail. Along the way, there are numerous spur trails that lead down to large sculpted granite boulder and the river. At Hoyt Crossing, there is a good-sized swimming hole and expansive sandy beach. Look for the Miners Tunnel, where a hole was blasted in granite to divert the river and expose the riverbed for gold mining."
