The Hamilton Pool Preserve features a naturally formed pool and grotto perfect for swimming on a sunny, warm day. The Preserve, in addition to the pool, has various nature trails through lush greenery and even wildlife sightings. One trail in particular leads downstream to the Pedernales River, and is certainly worth the walk. The Pool is only open to the public when certain water quality standards are met, so ensure that swimming is permitted on the day that you choose to visit. There are no lifeguards on duty at the Pool, so it is advised to bring life jackets for small or flotation devices children.
