Hike and Swim
Little Jamaica is a warm springs waterfall and pool just off the highway between Desert Springs and Littlefield, Arizona. It's a family location that doesn't get more than 5 feet deep in the pools. The plant life and rock features will make it feel a little more like you're playing in the tropics than the middle of the desert. There's even a plant covered grotto over part of the pool to complete the tropical atmosphere.

At the end of Farm Road, you'll see a parking lot. There's a few different options to get into the lot. Choose the one that's easiest on your vehicle. To get the springs, just walk west along the path. You'll hear the falls and you'll know them when you see them. You'll actually follow the falls down to the pool. There should be a rope there on the highway side of the pool. Use the rope to climb down. The rocks are much less slippery than they look.
