Cool Water Acres is located about 5 miles from downtown Bandera and encompasses 54 acres of beautiful hill country. A private five acre spring fed lake provides cool clear water for swimming, snorkeling, fishing and relaxing. The lake was built in the 30's around a dam on Indian Creek and ranges in depth from 1 to 20 feet. Most of the year overflow waters from the underground springs in the lake, pass over a spill way and meander their way to a dramatic 15 foot waterfall and pool. Bass, perch and catfish are plentiful and easily caught, when they're in the mood. Two floating docks provide for fishing and sun bathing. The rest of the ranch topography contains varied terrain and elevations which make for wonderful hiking excursions. The quarry, from which the material for the dam was taken, was an ocean floor millions of years ago and sea fossils abound. Another part of the ranch runs through a cool tree covered gorge, where it is not uncommon to see deer, turkey, and armadillos. And on another, you can be perched up on a high ledge once used by Indian lookouts and view the magnificent hills.
