Adams-Hemphill Neighborhood Park
About
201 W 30th St, Austin, TX 78705, USA Get directions
Adams-Hemphill Neighborhood Park is a small green space tucked into the North University neighborhood just north of the UT Austin campus, the kind of quiet local spot where you're more likely to find dog walkers and students than tour buses. It keeps long daily hours, so it's an easy place to stretch your legs in the early morning or wind down in the evening while you're exploring the area around the university.

Barton Springs Pool
Austin
Barton Springs Pool is a three-acre spring-fed swimming hole in Zilker Park, where water bubbles up from the Edwards Aquifer to hold a steady 68–70°F year-round, cold enough to take your breath in summer and oddly tolerable in winter. Watch for the Barton Springs salamander, an endangered species found nowhere else, which is part of why the limestone-lined pool is managed as carefully as it is.

Zilker Metropolitan Park
Austin
Zilker Metropolitan Park sprawls across more than 300 acres along the Colorado River just southwest of downtown Austin, and it's the gateway to Barton Springs Pool, a spring-fed swimming hole that hovers around 68 degrees year-round. You'll find people picnicking on the Great Lawn, paddling Lady Bird Lake, and walking the trails here, and it's also home to the Zilker Botanical Garden and the annual Austin City Limits festival.

McKinney Falls State Park
Austin
McKinney Falls sits where Onion Creek spills over wide limestone ledges on the southeast edge of Austin, forming the upper and lower falls that give the park its name and its swimming holes. Beyond the water, you'll find hike-and-bike trails through Hill Country woods, the ruins of an early stone homestead, and a bald cypress estimated to be centuries old—all within about a 15-minute drive of downtown.
