Located in Balcones Canyonlands Preserve, this stunning natural pool is easily accessible from downtown. Nature lovers will adore the Preserve, one of Austin's best parks and a protected area for rare birds and wildlife. There are hiking trails and picnic tables, but the most popular attraction is Hamilton Pool. It’s a natural pool created thousands of years ago when the ceiling of an underground river collapsed. Take note: There is an entrance fee, reservations are required in the summer, and occasionally bacteria levels make it impossible to swim.
