First Basin Swimming Pool is a public outdoor pool set within Cataract Gorge, nestled along the calm waters of First Basin. Fed by river water and surrounded by lawns and rocky cliffs, it's a unique place to swim in a natural, picturesque setting. Popular in warmer months, the pool sits close to walking paths, picnic areas, and the Gorge Scenic Chairlift, making it an easy and refreshing stop within the reserve.
