Balmorhea State ParkWildlife Sanctuary in the Desert |
The park is located on about 46 acres in the foothills of the Davis Mountains west of Balmorhea in Reeves County and was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the early 1930's. San Solomon Springs has provided water for travelers for thousands of years. Artifacts indicate that Indians used the spring extensively before white men came to the area. It was first called Mescalero Springs for the Mescalero Apache Indians who water their horses along its banks.
Along with motel-style accommodations, the park's main attraction is a large artesian spring pool that is open daily and fed by San Solomon Springs.
