Barton Springs Pool
Refreshing
Nothing beats Barton Springs on a sultry summer day in Austin.
Don’t bother dipping your toe in – you could spend all day trying to ease your way into the bracing water.
The best advice is just to jump.
Remember, this is a natural spring – the water is a constant 68 degrees and the stone walls tend to be slimy. The grassy knoll surrounding the pool is relaxing, peaceful, and green.
