There’s nothing like a spring-fed pool to help you make the most out of a Texas summer, and one of the more underrated and (by process of elimination) less busy swimming holes to experience just that is at Fort Clark, located near Bracketville. Fed by Las Moras Springs, the pool at Fort Clark isn’t entirely an unknown. For hundreds of years, man has been making good use of this 68-degree oasis, and nowadays, it’s a summer haven complete with grills and picnic tables.
In addition to smaller amenities such as this, there’s also an arcade room for the teens, not to mention a great gym for the parents, with a pool table and even a T.V. area. However, certainly, with all of the great opportunities to take advantage of the great outdoors, you won’t be sitting inside when you visit Fort Clark. There’s a variety of biking and hiking trails that run parallel to Las Moras Creek, and on your travels, you’ll pass through various ruins with extensive history. There’s also a museum containing artifacts from the various tribes, nationalities, and military groups that had a presence here.
