Balmorhea State Park was constructed by the CCC in the early 1930s to put folks to work during the Depression.
Two hundred young men hand dug and covered with Limestone a 3,500,000 gallon pool which was filled by the San Solomon River.
Twenty-two to 28 MILLION gallons of fresh spring water flow through the pool every day making it a perfect swimming hole. The 74 degree crystal clear water provides a great facility for scuba divers to explore the 75 foot depths where they can observe two rare aquatic species…..the Comanche Springs Pupfish and the Pecos Mosquitofish.”
