Our Experience in Bogac Cold Spring

My Family and I are going to our house in San Francisco to visit. Along the way, we went to Bogac Cold Spring for a quick visit. It was a fine day to go for a swim.

It was my first time visiting Bogac Cold Spring. I was a bit surprised to see that even during a pandemic a lot of people are out with families and friends to go for a swim (just like us). Maybe we are just lucky to live in a province where the COVID cases were very low (at the time).

From the name itself, the spring was freaking cold. Hahaha. If you dip into the water, do it at once! You will be a bit shocked but the cold will not bother you after that.

Our visit was quick, nevertheless, it was also fun.

I hope this quick guide can help you on your way to Bogac Cold Spring.
