10 Parks with Swimming Holes

What’s more refreshing than jumping into crystal-clear, cool water on a Texas summer day? Here are 10 state park swimming holes can help you beat the heat, as selected by Dale Blasingame and featured in the July issue of Texas Parks & Wildlife magazine.

Inks Lake

This popular park's sweet spot is Devil's Waterhole, where water gathers in a deep, cool pool between tall pink granite and gneiss cliffs. Daredevils jump off ledges along the 30-foot cliff. Easier swims can be found in the no-wake areas near the campgrounds. More on Inks Lake >>

Blanco

Nestled in the heart of this charming Hill Country town, you'll find an inviting swimming area accompanied by the sound of water flowing over two Civilian Conservation Corps dams. More on Blanco >>

Lake Tawakoni

This swimming hole is one of my favorites because it's perfectly situated to watch an amazing sunset over the lake. An hour's drive east of Dallas, the lake is a popular spot for families, boaters and fishermen alike. More on Lake Tawakoni >>
