I’ve written article after article about the famous natural springs like Hamilton Pool and Jacob’s Well, but sometimes the real hidden gems are the ones truly worth a visit. Tonkawa Springs in Garrison is just that – a beautiful swimming hole that you can actually enjoy because it won’t be constantly packed to the brim with people. It’s a camp and RV park as well, so if you need a place to stay overnight, look no further.

Can you believe water this color exists in Texas? It looks like a tropical paradise.

It may not quite compare to Hamilton Pool or Barton Creek, but the lack of huge crowds makes it totally worth it.

And it's still beautiful in its own right. I mean, would you look at that color?
