The Kah-Nee-Ta swimming pool is located on the Confederated Tribes of Warm Spring Reservation in north central Oregon south-east of Mt. Hood. The 600,000-acre reservation was formed in 1879 and settled by Paiutes, Warm Springs and Wasco tribes. The swimming pool is located adjacent to the Warm Springs River, a tributary of the Deschutes River. The resort was started in the early 1960s, and in addition to the swimming pool includes a lodge, an RV village with condos and tepees, and more recently, a gambling casino. A flood in February of 1996 cause major damage to the RV park and pool area, but they were rebuilt and available for use in 1997
