Balmorrhea State Park, Texas





Balmorrhea state park has a beautiful swmming area fed by hot springs that keep the water a steady mid-70s all year round. The pool was built and shaped with concrete but much of the bottom was left natural. Catfish, pupfish, and thousands of other little fish swarm around you. Sometimes they bite! Sometimes you get lucky and spot a turtle or two (soft shells) coming up for a breath. We had a great time swimming and snorkeling with our New Zealand friends.
