Tips from locals
You will need reservations here and check the site to see if they are allowing swimming.
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.
