I second everything kahiltna7200 says, here and in his review. The Locations entry for Sycamore Creek (https://www.truenudists.com/location/sycamore-creek/) has decent instructions on driving to the area but the instructions of where to go after you park, not so much. BTW, the Locations page also has a link to a map which is completely inaccurate. The correct GPS coordinates of where you turn off AZ-87 onto the dirt road are 33.7974, -111.4917. On the dirt road after turning left at the T, you'll soon see an old water tank close to the river bed. Find a spot to park, walk to and across the river bed and look for the trail that heads upstream; it's pretty easy to find (and the map kahiltna7200 references above will help). Google Maps' satellite view is also helpful; type in the plus code "QGW5+X8, Arizona" to scope out the road and parking area (somewhere in the vicinity of 33.79843, -111.4875).
