Barton Springs Pool has attracted all walks of life since its inception in 1837, from free-spirited, topless hula hoopers to congressmen to famous film directors. You can always count on a place to swim at Barton Springs Pool, and you can also always count on the water being a brisk 68 degrees.
Another spot in the same location is the Barton Springs Spillway, a popular spot for swimmers to bring their dogs, and a great place to enjoy the brisk spring water flowing out of Barton Springs Pool without paying the entrance fee. Bring your tube, jump in the cold water, and enjoy the day for free!

Moderately hidden away down a one-mile hike in the Barton Creek Greenbelt, Sculpture Falls is one of the choice spots for Austin natives to cool off during the summertime (though it’s rather gorgeous all year round). You’ll find people doing everything from relaxing in the water to throwing a football to canoeing after a heavy rainfall!

Pro Tip: Only go if it has rained in Austin recently, because parts of Barton Creek tend to dry up if there is a summer drought. As a general rule of thumb, wait a couple days for the bacteria to clear from the water after a heavy rain.

This famous swiming hole is located about a mile upstream from Barton Springs on Barton Creek. You could also get to it by taking the Spyglass Road access point and then turning left onto the trail once you get down to the creek. This should be a good size pool when the water is up after a rain and there are additional places to try both upstream and downstream from this site. This place will get crowded in the afternoons so consider yourself warned. There also are some nice bluffs in the area, although unlike in the old days now houses dot the top of the cliffs.
