Krause Springs
Spring · Texas
About this swimming hole
Thirty-two springs feed a natural swimming pool, a manmade pool, and a chain of waterfalls and grottos across 115 private acres. Campers can stay overnight and wake up to mist rising off the spring runs, while day visitors bounce between the deep natural pool and the rocky falls. It is cash or check only at the gate, and summer weekends sell out.
