Five Mile Dam

Five Mile Dam Photo - Texas, United States

This Hays County park is on the banks of the Blanco River. The river is deep enough for swimming above the dam, and there is good wading below the dam. Further east are some flat rocks good for sunning. A small concrete bridge spans the river and a railroad trestle crosses it above. There are no beaches to speak of, just brushy banks. There are picnic tables, a pier and a playground. Development nearby is encroaching on this swimming hole.
