Balmorhea State Park Texas

The main feature of Balmorhea State Park is its natural warm water pool. Temperature of the water all year round is around 22C to 24C (72F to 76F). Unfortunately the day I as there it was just barely over freezing all day and I found the water too cold for this weather when I tried to go in. In fact the only creature in the water were ducks and fish.

It is a huge, beautiful deep pool.

The campsite was quiet and clearly built for summer camping with shelters to create some shade at each site.

After a cold night the local sparrows were trying to keep warm under the roof shingles of the shelters. They made quite a racket but there were fun to watch. You can see the frost on the shady side of the shingles.
