About this swimming hole

Three miles of Pedernales River frontage with limestone beaches that feel more like a Hill Country resort than a county park. Climbers work the famous limestone cliffs while swimmers claim the clear pools below. The river is spring-fed and swimmable most of the year, though it shrinks in drought.
