Barton Springs Pool

Refreshing

Barton Springs

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.

Barton Springs this fine Autumn morning

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.
