About this swimming hole
Port Royal State Historic Park preserves an 18th-century river town site where the Red River and Sulphur Fork Creek meet. On hot summer days, visitors splash and swim in the Red River's slow pools below the historic bridges. The park's trails, 1890 Pratt truss bridge, and Trail of Tears history make the swim part of a richer outing.
