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.

"Only complaint is the breakfast was very average. Where were the tortillas?!?!? On the positive side- had a bad frig. Told the front desk. Since we were staying for a week we had already unpacked and didn’t want to move. We had a replacement frig brought in and swapped out in about 20 minutes. Thank you for that. Finally-Gig’em Aggies! "
