Description
Hamilton Pool Preserve is a great place for a nice 1-2 hour hike or a fun day by the natural pool. Walk through the area with lots of green plants and see the waterfall and the pretty blue-green pool. When you get to the pool, go for a swim in the clear water and hang out on the small beach. The beach can get busy, so bring a small beach set and some food for a picnic. Enjoy your day in this beautiful spot and make some amazing memories.
