Guadalupe River State Park

River · Texas

About this swimming hole

Four miles of Guadalupe River frontage give swimmers long, clear runs of water between limestone banks. The river here is calmer and cooler than the tubing gauntlet downstream, with rope swings and deep bends that locals claim as their own. It fills to capacity on summer weekends, so reserve a day pass ahead.
