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.
