Pool on Rothe Ranch Draws Public Swimming Near Cherry Spring
A hillside pool on the H. W. Rothe ranch near Cherry Spring, fed by original Cherry Springs, measures 18 by 50 feet with depths from 4 to 7.5 feet. Built by H. W. Rothe and son Stanley, it opened for public swims at a small fee and drains Mondays and Tuesdays for refilling. A dammed lake is planned above the pool to create a future fishing hole, with several groves nearby for picnicking. The site is eleven miles from Mason and Cherry Spring Road, about 13 miles from Fredericksburg, with Tony Knopp and others pictured at the pool.
