Remember that when you leave this Earth, you can take with you nothing that you have received, only what you have given, a full heart enriched by honest service, love, sacrifice and courage. -St. Francis of Assisi

Balmorhea State Park

Balmorhea, TX  Main Street


Monday and Tuesday
March 5 and 6, 2012

Balmorhea State Park is not a large park.
The attraction of this park is the huge spring fed swimming pool.
There are not any hiking trails in the park.

There are ducks and fish in this "pool"


The pool is "U" shaped

One side of the pool is from 20' to 30' deep
and is used for scuba diving.

The water from the spring is also used for irrigation in the community.

The weather was in the 80's.
There is not much shade in the park.
It started to cool down around 5pm.
It was then comfortable enough to sit outside
 and to go for a bike ride around the park.




Balmorhea is at the foothills of the Davis Mountains
