It also has a slide and a diving board designed for the adventurous. The park is located right off of Highway 17, about 30 miles north of Fort Davis and 10 miles south of Interstate 10. The pool is open year round, as the temperature remains constant between 74 and 76 degrees throughout the the whole year, even in the winter. Entrance for anyone over the age of 13 in to the park is three dollars. Pets have limited access to the state park areas, so call ahead to see if you really want to bring Fido along.
Weekends are busy in the summertime, so reserving a campsite or a motel room in is recommended.
A great bonus to Balmorea is the Toyavale Desert Oasis, a scuba shop right next door to the pool. Scuba divers come from all over the states to dive in the pristine waters and one hundred foot visibility of the pool. Darrel and Neta offer Scuba lessons too. At the end of the schooling you will be a Certified Diver, and can use this certification anywhere in the world for the rest of your life. The Rhynes are really flexable, and will work around your schedule, as long as you notify them before hand.
