Rio On Pools
Stepped cascades and natural pools among granite boulders, the most popular spot for splashing around in Mountain Pine Ridge.
The Rio On River tumbles over granite boulders, forming a series of small waterfalls and pools with cool, clear water. You can slide over the rocks, soak in the water and picnic. A viewing platform and toilets sit beside the parking area, and it's only a few minutes' walk down from the road. Admission is free. Located beside the main road through Mountain Pine Ridge, it is often used as a rest stop on the return from Caracol. The rocks are slippery, so take care.
