About this swimming hole
The spring-fed South Llano River runs clear and cool through this park, one of the Hill Country's best-kept secrets. Swimmers float the gentle current between pecan groves while tubers drift the whole two-mile park stretch. It rarely reaches the capacity crowds of Garner, its famous neighbor to the south.
