Albert Falls — Attraction in Davis

After seeing reviews showing people in the water... DO NOT GET IN THIS WATER! IT IS ABSOLUTELY TOXIC! The signs along the road leading up to this even explain how polluted the river is. Please don't expose yourself to the risk of dangerous levels of mercury, lead, arsenic, etc.

Just up the road there is a large informative sign at the entrance to one of the old mines explaining that there used to be an effective filtration system to collect the pollution, but that it stopped functioning decades ago.

You can see Albert Falls from the road so you dont have to do the climb. Unsure if there was a different path,...
