Go for a Swim at Hamilton Pool Preserve

Awesome spot! It's about a 8 minute hike to the pool , no pavement, very rocky so be ready, restroom available, beautiful scenery. No access to the cave or water due to hazardous and water level of bacteria was high. There was a man there sharing some awesome information about fossils and animals seen there w skeletons remains. Overall a very nice experience! Don't forget to make your reservation online and take cash for an additional charge per person to get in.

I shot an elopement at Hamilton Pool and it really was magical. The rock formations made for some really interesting portrait backgrounds. Unfortunately, they had closed the walkway that goes under the rocks and the waterfall for safety reasons, but it didn't stop us from getting good shots.

Quite a challenge. Arrived there to be told we needed to pre-book, there was plenty of space for bookings and it was a quiet day he told us… *but* bookings can only be made online and there is no phone signal or wifi in the vicinity to be able to make a booking. In this day and age I really struggle to understand why an attraction, which needs income from ticket sales, would make it so hard for visitors to hand over their money?! Once we drove a few miles down the road, got a signal, made a booking, came back and entered the park it was quite the let-down. After all that effort to be welcomed by lots of signs forbidding any swimming and then views of an algae filled pond. Underwhelming to say the least…

Hamilton Pool is a breathtaking natural swimming hole located just outside of Austin, Texas. A stunning waterfall cascading into a green pool. Due to its popularity, reservations are required in order to visit. Recommend to book much advance at least before 3-4 weeks during summers due to it’s popularity. Must visit!
