The fall weather has Wiley and I out exploring the great parks that Georgetown Texas offers.  One of the most visible is Blue Hole park within a couple of blocks of downtown.  The park lies along the north San Gabriel River  and has been a popular swimming hole for generations.Georgetown Texas

There is a wooded picnic area on the south side and dramatic bluffs on the north. There is a beautiful waterfall over and around the low dam that forms the swimming hole.Georgetown Texas Blue Hole Park

Hello Mike - Thanks for the information about Blue Hole Park.  We live right around the corner from it and I'm embrassed to say that we've never taken the time to go there.  That will have to change!  Thanks again.
