Hamilton Pool in Austin Texas
Hamilton Pool in Austin Texas
Hamilton Pool Preserve is a historic swimming hole located 3/4 mile upstream from its confluence with the Pedernales River, which is right outside of Austin. Hamilton Creek spills out over limestone outcroppings to create a 50 foot waterfall as it plunges into the head of a steep box canyon. The waterfall never completely dries up, but in dry times it does slow to a trickle. However, the pool's water level stays pretty constant, even during periods of drought. No pets of any kind are allowed. Only a limited number of people are allowed to enter so arrive early, people wait outside and as people leave, others are allowed in. There are no lifeguards on duty so swim at your own risk. There are areas that get pretty deep.

We had a great time at the house! We had a bunch of families with kids and everyone had a ton of fun with so many different things to do. The house is well kept and they’ve thought of everything to make staying away from home easier.

The cabin was great! It was perfect for our Hill Country getaway. Very close to Pedernales State Park which made it even better. Great place to enjoy some time away from the big city.
