Hamilton Preserve Swimming Hole


This is one swimming hole we have been to here in the Austin area, and we loved it! It's so cool and beautiful! The parking lot isn't close to the swimming hole, you do have to hike a 10-15 minute nature trail, but it's worth the hike!
"The preserve's pool and grotto were formed when the dome of an underground river collapsed due to massive erosion thousands of years ago. There is a 45 foot water fall creating a great swimming hole."
We came here when my cousins from my mom's side came for a reunion trip.The kids had so much fun! The swimming hole has a beach like area that you can set up and picnic.

We spent hours there floating, spraying our water gun toys and just having fun. I would suggest it a place to go definitely! It's a $5 per vehicle fee. If you seem interested in this idea, please leave a comment!

perfect - put that one on a to due list. Also there is the wake boarding at the 195 exit that should interest the younger adults.
