Hamilton Pool Preserve is a historic swimming hole located 3/4 mile upstream from its confluence with the Pedernales River, which is right outside of Austin. Hamilton Creek spills out over limestone outcroppings to create a 50 foot waterfall as it plunges into the head of a steep box canyon. The waterfall never completely dries up, but in dry times it does slow to a trickle. However, the pool's water level stays pretty constant, even during periods of drought. No pets of any kind are allowed. Only a limited number of people are allowed to enter so arrive early, people wait outside and as people leave, others are allowed in. There are no lifeguards on duty so swim at your own risk. There are areas that get pretty deep.

"NO RIVER ACCESS from the property. There was construction right across the street so got a little loud early weekday mornings. Someone beat on our door in the middle of the night and scared us pretty badly but we never saw anything. Some of the patio furniture was broken and some of the cabinets did not close. - On the good side, it is spacious. We had two families here and there was plenty of room. 2 living rooms gave adults a place to hang out without kids wanting to change the channel on us....
