Hamilton Pool Preserve, Natural waterfall pool formation in Dripping Springs, United States
Hamilton Creek spills over limestone outcroppings into a canyon, creating a 15-meter waterfall that flows into a circular natural pool.
The Hamilton family established the preserve in the 1800s, transforming it from a Native American gathering site to a protected natural area.
The preserve maintains strict visitor regulations and reservation systems to protect the delicate ecosystem of the Texas Hill Country region.
Visitors need advance reservations for specific time slots between 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM or 2:00 PM to 5:30 PM, with access limited to eight people per vehicle.
The pool maintains a constant water level regardless of drought conditions, while limestone formations create a natural grotto around the swimming area.
