Blue Hole, Natural artesian well in Santa Rosa, United States.
The Blue Hole measures 80 feet in diameter at the surface and extends to 130 feet at its bottom, containing water at 62 degrees Fahrenheit.
Before becoming a recreational site, this natural pool functioned as a fish hatchery and served as a water source for nomadic tribes crossing New Mexico.
The Santa Rosa Blue Hole stands as a central gathering point where local residents and travelers meet for swimming and diving activities throughout the year.
The facility includes a visitor center, locker rooms, restrooms, and picnic areas, with regulated access for certified scuba diving activities.
The water completely replenishes every six hours through an underground system that pumps 3,000 gallons per minute from the Ogallala Aquifer.
