Hamilton Pool Preserve

A stunning natural swimming hole formed thousands of years ago, Hamilton Pool Preserve is a tranquil oasis in the heart of the Texas Hill Country. Here’s why this destination is a favorite for nature lovers:

• Crystal-Clear Waters: The emerald-green waters of Hamilton Pool shimmer under a striking limestone grotto. The dramatic overhanging cliffs create a secluded, almost mystical atmosphere.
• Scenic Waterfall: One of the preserve’s highlights is the 50-foot waterfall that cascades into the pool year-round. Even in dry seasons, the waterfall adds to the serene charm of the area.
• Picturesque Hiking Trails: The preserve offers short but scenic trails through lush vegetation, providing opportunities to explore the surrounding landscape. The hike to the pool itself is a peaceful journey through the Hill Country.
• Wildlife and Plant Diversity: The preserve is home to diverse wildlife, from turtles and fish in the pool to birds and native plants along the trails. It’s an excellent spot for birdwatching and nature photography.

Relaxation in Nature: Whether swimming in the refreshing water (when allowed) or simply lounging by the pool, visitors can unwind and immerse themselves in the beauty of this natural gem.

Hamilton Pool Preserve is a captivating escape where natural beauty and serenity await around every corner.
