The pool takes its name from Cove, the nearby town in the Grande Ronde Valley, not from the English word for a sheltered bay. It sits about 10 miles east of La Grande and 7 miles north-northeast of Union, on the western edge of the Wallowa Mountains, drawing bathers from those communities.

The pool operates seasonally from Memorial Day through Labor Day and is open during daylight hours without complicated rules. Parking is available for vehicles and RVs, with changing rooms, bathrooms, a snack bar, and playground all located on the grounds.
