Results may vary depending upon river level. When the river is medium to high, the rocks are a fun slide. When wet, they are like walking on round ice. Expect to fall. Wear water shoes and bring some kneepads if you have some. This is a park with no amenities. I'm not complaining. Just letting you know. There is no bathroom, changing area, concession stand, life guard, or park ranger. You are at the mercy of nature and the people you came with. Pack the stuff you will need. Drinking water, sunscreen, wet wipes, food, towels. These Shut-Ins don't have the high jump cliffs of Johnson's Shut-Ins, but they go on longer than Johnson's Shut-Ins. There was just one spot at Castor River Shut-In with the depth necessary for jumping in. I recommend it. It's free.

Gorgeous hidden gem! Not crowded like Johnsons. Perfect place to relax and escape! Benches along path. Pet friendly. Keep your Dog on leashes though. A guy driving had a dog unleashed that attacked me and my dog, while walking through parking lot. Wasn't happy..

Me and the family enjoyed it! Second time out here and this time was the best it wasn't packed like last time and it was very clean.. and the swimming was great... We're making this our family yearly spot

Such a cool place! I loved swimming here. It was beautiful and a fun experience. I would recommend wearing water shoes, as the rocks can be a little hard on your feet.

Pretty incredible place to visit. Can’t wait to go again. Much more relaxing than Johnson Shut-Ins and incredibly clean. Beautiful place to have spend a day in the sun with family and friends.

Very beautiful place. We were the only people out there, enjoyed the place to ourselves :) Love the pink rocks.

Great swimming spot a few minutes from Fredericktown. Very similar to Johnson Shut Ins, but the rocks are pink and the access to the river is way easier thru the tree shaded trail. Water is clean and full of fish, parking is limited and no public restroom.

I love this gem hidden in the woods. I feel comfortable bringing my 2yr old and the water is usually between 4 and 5 ft deep
