About this swimming hole
A Jurassic Park tangle of tropical forest hides Rock Springs, where you can float a three-quarter-mile spring run on an inner tube or swim in the free-flowing headspring. Otters sometimes join tubers on the lazy ride downstream. This Orange County park is famously beloved, so it regularly hits capacity by mid-morning on hot weekends.
