Swimming Holes in Texas
53 Sites Found Public & Accessible Land
Texas has better swimming holes than most people realize. Hamilton Pool Preserve in Travis County is a collapsed grotto with a 50-foot waterfall into a shallow limestone pool — advance reservations required, it sells out. Jacob's Well near Wimberley is a perpetual spring pumping thousands of gallons per minute into a deep limestone shaft — closed frequently on high-demand days to protect the aquifer. Krause Springs near Spicewood has 32 natural springs and an old-growth cypress grove with both a developed pool and a natural swimming area. Barton Springs Pool in Austin is spring-fed, 68°F year-round, and free to enter before 8am and after 10pm. The Frio River near Garner State Park is the Hill Country classic.
Always check current conditions before visiting — water levels, algae advisories, and access roads change seasonally. Never swim alone in remote sites. Tell someone your plans. Explore all swimming holes on the Trek4Free map →
