A 1.3-acre, 3.5-million-gallon spring-fed pool in the Chihuahuan Desert of West Texas, built by the CCC in the 1930s over San Solomon Springs. The artesian spring pumps clear 72-76 F water year-round, giving 25 ft depths with excellent visibility and two endangered desert fish species. After multi-year renovations the park is fully reopened, and scuba is allowed daily for certified divers who sign the park diving agreement.
