History
The Rawley Springs area has a history of European settlers and their descendants, mostly men, purchasing and building vacation stays and fine boarding houses in the area. A series of fires in the 1800s brought these buildings down. Today there is a cluster of homes making up the Rawley Springs area. Commercialization of the area, like building hotels and resorts, is no longer allowed.[1]
The springs, which feed into the Dry River are said to be a place of healing.[1] Шаблон:Location map
Use
The swimming hole has not been developed with a parking area and easy access, although for some this is also the allure. Most people park on the shoulder of Route 33 just past Rawley Springs heading west. A short but steep climb down to the river follows. The path's location is unmarked but worn enough to be noticeable.
