  • We had a ball! The water was crazy cold and it was crystal clear! This was my kids' favorite stop along Route 66! They have a wading area if you just want to jump in and not fear the deep water...

  • Place is beautiful and amazing. The water is cold, clear, and deep. Area is nicely maintained and open to the public. Water is from underground spring and is the same temperature year round. I went in January on a cold day and found people swimming. On some days you will find people getting certified for scuba. A true oasis with nice friendly people. Highly recommend.
  • Amazing place! Fall in love at first sight. Water is cold and blue. Good for swimming and jumping! LOVE THIS PLACE!
