About Ingram Dam
Ingram Dam offers a refreshing cold-water retreat along the Guadalupe River in Texas. This hybrid spring combines the natural flow of a river with a striking man-made dam, where you can slide down its slippery, moss-covered face into a cool, inviting pond below. It captures the lively spirit of Texas swimming holes with a splash of adventure.
Getting There
You reach Ingram Dam easily by car with no hiking required. From Kerrville, take Route 27 west to Ingram, then turn left on Riverview Road followed by a right onto River Park Road. There’s ample parking nearby, making access straightforward for a day trip or quick dip.
What to Expect
The water stays crisp and invigorating year-round, especially welcome in the summer heat. The atmosphere buzzes with activity as visitors gather to slide off the dam and swim in the river’s calm pools. While facilities are minimal, the busy, social vibe reflects the spring’s popularity in the Texas swimming holes scene.
Tips for Visitors
Plan your visit during summer when the water is warmest for swimming. Bring water shoes with good grip to navigate the mossy, slippery dam safely. There’s no confirmed entry fee, but packing essentials like snacks and sun protection ensures a comfortable stay at this lively spot.
