Parks & Nature

Quintessential Austin. Spring fed pool with natural bottom. Cool waters (68-70F) provide cool relief for hot summers. Everyone goes to "the Springs." City owned, small admission. Not a partying hangout place but loads of chilling. The south side has ample lounging and shaded areas.

Great getaway within the city. Trail starts at the western end of Barton Springs Pool parking lot. During wet years, creek flows and explains why the area was originally settled. Cool cliffs and swimming holes abound. Plenty of spots to find your own boulder to sun and take a cooling dip. Awesome!
