Hamilton Pool
Hill Country Heaven
The Hamilton Pool Preserve, with its clear pool, cool grotto, and sparkling 45-foot waterfall, is well worth the 45-minute drive from Austin.
A rugged, well-marked trail leads from the parking lot to the swimming hole.
Bring your own food, water, and necessities, and be extra careful in the water as there are no lifeguards. This lovely spot is so popular that reservations are required.
