I like that it's free and a big enough area that it's usually not too crowded. But last year the water was VERY low, so you have to keep in mind water levels. You have to expect to run into rocks, though if you are 'shooting the rapids' (joke, they're not fast, but you can still get banged up some). There's a new RV park by it this year, so I don't know how that has changed the scene.
This is a pretty stop and you can park to the side and walk around...great place to cool your feet in the water. There were lots of families there as well.
This area is wonderful in warm weather and winter alike. In winter you can watch eagles and other large birds of prey, In spring/summer you can swim in very clear water, wade and hang out on big smooth limestone rocks.
This is a wonderful swimming hole located in Kingsland NOT Llano. nice shallow water for families with really small ones.
Back in the 60's, this was a little-known very lovely oasis, but over the years became increasingly popular, so much so that apparently now in the summer is overrun. Still, in the off season, it is a must visit, and worth it to take a long walk and swim in. Just wear shoes, as there is broken glass.
No water, due to the drought. The people that come to hang out and swim leave trash, dirty diapers,etc. It would be a great place if people would clean up after themselves. We need a flood to wash away the trash!
This use to be a really awesome place to go swimming and have fun but the waters low these days and people leave there trash all over the place
Nice place to go cool off in the heat of the Texas summer, paddle in the rock pools........... You could take a picnic and enjoy an afternoon.
It was not crowded and it's free. It is a very chilled out thing to do but you can bring a cooler and just hang out. I loved it and my kids enjoyed the small fish and looking for rocks. AWESOME!
Go early on the weekends before noon the licals start to show us around 1. Did not see much trash at all. Be sure to bring good water shoes. The rocks are quite slippery. Bring the sun screen there is no shade. Water is no deeper than 4 feet about a half mile up from crossing. Coarse this will change with water flow.
