Everyone has to check it out at least once! This place rocks I usually try to make it out here at least once a year to enjoy the hike, the cold water on a hot day and view. I would also suggest...

Hamilton Pool is my heaven on Earth. This 50-foot waterfall trickles from a mammoth limestone grotto and into a sea foam green pool--a cold pool at that. But with a quarter-mile hike through rocks and...

I love Hamilton Pool but to get the most of it you should know 1) it's quite a trek to the water so really think about how much you need to bring your heavy, bulky cooler (i.e., you don't!), 2) the...

First of all, it's stunning here: I mean, absolutely mind-blowing on some level that this spring (and the giant rock formation that encompasses it) exist, hidden in the corners of the Central Texas...

This is a little oasis. While the lake and other hot waterspots are suffering, Hamilton Pool has water. It's a spring and creek fed grotto wonderland. You can sit on the sandy, pebble beach and enjoy...

Oh, Hamilton Pool...How I love you. Now, I never thought I would find myself writing such a positive review for a body of water because, a) I do not enjoy sitting still, b) I hate the sun and c) I do...

I love, love, love this waterhole. It's a bit of a drive from Austin, but sooo worth it. It's only about eight bucks per vehicle (someone else said ten, if so it was raised), and you can spend the...

When I think of summer in Austin, I think of Hamilton Pool. Just a short 30-45 minute drive from Austin, the nature preserve is one of the best ways to spend a relaxing afternoon. The parking lot can...

It's hard to explain its beauty to someone who hasn't been there, let alone recreate the visit after you've gone. It sure as hell doesn't feel like Texas, more like a magical oasis in the dry scrubs...

Hamilton Pool is situated somewhat outside Austin, in Dripping Springs, TX. Those not willing to trek along a bumpy, uneven path rife with elevation changes need not apply. As you inch closer to the pool, the...

A very relaxing place to sit and chill. Go swimming in a pool... bring a sandwich and sit on the rocks. A good place to go to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
