I know a few years back they closed the waterfall on the Fremont River in Capitol Reef because of a few near drownings. After hearing about the closure, I haven't heard much since then. Anybody have any more recent news about it?
 
While permanently closed, there is still some space to park by it and I have seen people visiting it a few times since the closure. If you are looking for pics, I think you would be fine to visit. If you are looking for swimming, go elsewhere.
