Balmorhea State Park

A spring-fed swimming pool the size of 1.75 acres that stays a constant 72 to 76 degrees year-round and is so clear you can see straight to the bottom at 25 feet deep. The pool is home to endangered species including the Comanche Springs pupfish and kids can snorkel alongside them. The San Solomon Springs Courts offer motel-style rooms right on the pool deck. Recently renovated and reopened after years of construction.

Possum Kingdom State Park

Built on the dramatic cliffs above the clear blue waters of Possum Kingdom Lake in the Palo Pinto Mountains. The water here is unusually clear for Texas and kids can snorkel and spot fish in the shallows. The park has a swim area with a rocky beach and the Longhorn Trail offers moderate hiking with canyon views.
