Well maintained camp sites and hiking trail. I also like how accessible and segregated the trash cans are. Highly suggest adding this to your list of sites to visit!

The pool itself is okay. It is similar to Mirror Lake, but you can swim here (you can't swim in Mirror Lake). Gunner Pool is not big like Mirror Lake, the water looks okay, but not as enticing to swim in. There is a trail you can take over the dam that goes to the left to a small cliff that you can jump off of into Gunner Pool. Some picnic areas as well. There is some trails you can take down to the base of the dam and go into the creek which you can walk through into the North Sylamore Creek near where the bridge goes over it. There is a lot of places there you can sit and relax and play in the water. It is shallow in most places and relaxing. Getting there can be a bit difficult though for people that can't walk good.

Such a beautiful place! Very relaxing. We went on Father’s Day weekend and it was not busy at all. Maybe two/three other family’s that we saw.

It is absolutely beautiful! We took a group of students to BBQ hotdogs after touring the Blanchard Spring Cavern. We had a great afternoon.

Beautiful place to find peace and hiking with my dogs. Water is clear and cool, flowers blooming everywhere. Awesome drive down a well maintained dirt road to get there. Lots of choices for where to walk around and enjoy the Ozarks

This is a solid 4 star location , likely never 5 due to no water source and pit toilets only . The location is superb , lots to explore up and down the creek and if you catch it at the right time it’s quiet and empty . Enjoyed the creek noises throughout the night .

Had a great spot down by the creek great place to hike and get away from it all. Has spot to buy fire wood when you first turn on gunner pool road to left. Has only restrooms no showers $10 a night. Hope we get to go back.
