Blue Hole Swim Reservations Open March 1st!

Since the 1920s Blue Hole has been a popular swimming destination. In just a few summer months each year over 60,000 people visit the swimming area alone. People of all ages and walks of life enjoy swimming in the cool clear waters under the towering cypress trees. Swinging from the rope swings and splashing into the bright blue water is a memory bound to bring joy to all. Relaxing on the soft grass and listening to distant laughter and wind through the nearby forest is sure to bring peace. The Blue Hole swimming area is a must-visit destination if you want to create endearing memories of the beautiful hill country!

The threat of high bacteria levels, other pollutants, and poor visibility conditions are unsafe for swimming. These threats are beyond our control and individuals making a reservation understand that the swimming area may be closed if these threats are present. We will monitor those conditions daily and update information on our website and social media pages.

Reservations are required for the swim area only. All other recreational areas including our hiking trails, playground, and picnic areas are free, open to the public, and do not require reservations. If you have a season pass, you do not need to make another reservation for a day pass.
