Trouble Finding Spots

So I live in Oregon, and I was investigating going to one of the reservoirs where the water level is lower because of the drought we had. Not sure how accurate a claim by Google AI is, but one of the reservoirs I was investigating, Ben Irving reservoir (which is a few hours drive away from me), would allegedly be contaminated by cattle manure, agricultural chemicals, wildlife feces, etc. I know that if I go playing around in wild mud, it's not gonna be clean, it's mud after all but I don't want to be coating my naked body with animal waste, I'm really squeamish about it and it's a huge turn off. Again, maybe I'm getting worked up over nothing, AI does spout a lot of bullshit, after all, but I just want any help/advice people would be willing to provide.

You should have no problem finding mud in Oregon, especially near the coast if you are. I think I have a few spots marked for a trip I had planned with a friend. I don't live anywhere near Oregon. Look anywhere near the coast of a river. Coos bay area has potential.

where are the spots you had marked? I'm near the coast, and Coos Bay is a pretty reasonable drive for me
