Hamilton Pool Reserve Park

Captivating Hamilton Pool Preserve Park is an emerald green oasis. It is a natural pool that was created when the dome of an underground river collapsed due to massive erosion in the past. It can be found in Austin Texas about 37 km west of downtown Austin.

The preserve itself is prettier than I originally imagined with crystal clear water, a beautiful waterfall, and a really cool cave-like dome over a portion of the pool. To beach lovers there is no beach actually, instead, there’s a rocky-grave area cleared of vegetation and it’s tough on your bare feet!

The Hamilton Pool Preserve Park is a great to experience nature in Travis County. Hamilton Creek spills out over limestone outcroppings to create a 50-foot waterfall as it plunges into the head of a steep box canyon.
