Jumps: Inkwells

The Inkwells are small, deep, pools along Sir Francis Drake Blvd. in Lagunitas. When driving along Drake Boulevard, the Inkwells are just beyond where the houses stop and Samuel P. Taylor State Park begins. As you cross a bridge called Shafter Bridge, the Inkwells are directly on your right, underneath a reddish-colored bridge called the Inkwells Bridge. One of the pools is rumored to have a car at the bottom. Though this is certainly not true it is impossible to swim deep enough to verify the falsity of this claim. There are several rocks to jump off of around the pools and it is even possible to jump off of the inkwells bridge. However, this landing is incredibly shallow and should be made with extreme caution. If you are looking for a place to swim in West Marin without making the long drive to the beach Inkwells is the place for you.
