ABOUT THE PLACE

The Slab is a FREE swimming hole on the Llano River in Kingsland. This swimming hole is basically an easily accessed stretch of the Llano which is has lots of rugged granite that makes for some nice summer fun. Even during a drought there's water here, and it gets channeled in places so there are chutes to lay in. It's definitely worth visiting on a hot day. It reminds me a lot of the simming area at Pedernales State Park except there's a fair amount of trash around, but it's free. The parking is somewhat limited on the side of the road by the low-water crossing there.

There are also no facilities there, so take your pee break in Kingsland before you arrive.
