About this swimming hole
A naturally warm mineral spring lake - a steady 87 degrees - famed for its archaeology as much as its swimming. Ancient human remains found in its depths make it one of North America's most important archaeological sites. The county park offers day-use swimming in the soothing, sulfur-scented water.
