Barton Springs

Nestled within Austin’s expansive Zilker Park, Barton Springs Pool is a natural wonder that has been cherished by generations of locals and visitors alike. Spanning over 3 acres (1.2 hectares), the pool is fed by an underground spring, maintaining a refreshing, constant temperature of about 68°F (20°C). Surrounded by lush greenery, the clear, cool waters offer a serene escape from the Texas heat. Visitors can swim in the inviting, spring-fed waters, enjoy the natural setting, and partake in a long-standing Austin tradition.
