This pristine swimming hole in the middle of a rural desert makes it one of the more unique bodies of water in Texas. This 3-acre spring-fed pool is a tributary off the larger Pecos River, making it a clear and refreshing spot to hang out for the day. The surrounding canyons and miles of desert-like landscapes provide the ideal backdrop for swimmers. Not only will you get to enjoy the scenery, but you will also have tons of wildlife to keep you company. Hummingbirds, prairie dogs, eagles, and falcons are just a few creatures that are commonly spotted by visitors.
