Can't Miss Swimming Holes To Visit In Texas

Jacob’s Well is a long-standing spring that now serves as a popular swimming spot among locals. Beneath the creek is a cave that descends for about 30 feet, then cuts off and continues for about 120 more feet. Sadly, many cave divers have lost their lives exploring the cave, but it’s thanks to them and surviving cave divers that we know the depth of the cave today. Swimming is on a reservation-only basis due to the size of the actual spring, so make your plans ahead of time and arrive early.

Blue Hole is one of the most beautiful swimming holes in Central Texas, complete with rope swings and large trees. Surrounding the water are hiking trails, clean bathrooms, and plenty of wildlife. Only a certain number of visitors are allowed each day to avoid overcrowding, so again, arrive early to ensure you can enjoy a day of swimming.

Garner State Park boasts the best of the Frio River. You can swim or tube down the river, and there are a couple of dedicated swimming areas along the way. The large cypress trees surrounding you can grow to 120 feet tall. The park is, unsurprisingly, most popular during the summer time, when you can enjoy swimming, camping, and nightly dancing.
