Despite only being 12-feet wide, this deep swimming hole is a refreshing escape away from the hot Texan sun. You will be amazed at how cold the waters are! It is supplied by an underground reservoir which maintains its constant year-round temperature of 68-degrees. Take a dive and plunge into the 30-foot deep blue abyss, where you will find chambers, caves, and canals. Many of the mysterious features sit around 120-feet down the well and should only be explored by experienced divers as it is considered one of the most dangerous dive sites on the planet. But even if you are just here to swim, you will be pleasantly surprised at how such a small well can provide tons of entertainment.
