About 30 miles southwest of Austin off Route 71 is a small nature preserve that is home to one of the Hill Country's most beautiful natural pools. The continuously flowing Hamilton Creek spills over an enormous limestone outcropping, creating a beautiful 50-foot waterfall that gently spills into the crystal waters of Hamilton Pool. A popular swimming spot for decades, it's a lovely place to explore and walk. Reservations are required in advance. Entry fees are cash-only in person, credit card online.
