We took a couple kayaks down to the river and slowly made our way down to the Colorado river. We passed people jumping off a tree swing, jumping of one of the bridges, and paddle boarding by. I was there during the summer of 2021. The river was jam-packed and absolutely FUN! I loved every minute of it. Music was playing, beers were being tosses, people were laughing, and the sun was beating down. The parking is pretty bad. It was pretty hard finding a close parking spot. This is a must go summer destination! I can go there 2-3 times per week all summer. Have fun and be safe out there!

Fun place to take friends! I would recommend being a strong swimmer if you go. They do mark the depth of the pool, but I feel like it’s just a suggestion? In the 5 ft area I could not feel the bottom and was treading water. There is a shallow end where the kiddos swim. We went on a super hot day - 86 degrees. The water is 68-70 degrees year round. Be prepared for the stinging cold water when you walk in, but you’re body will get adjusted! The water is somewhat clear being spring water. There will be pieces of algae floating around with you.

Great place to cool down. Plenty of room to stretch out with trees to cover you. Lifeguards are great and ready for anything. Wear watershoes and jump off the diving board

You can go to the poolside and pay or you can go to the spillway where it's freaking awesome and there's waterfalls and that's where all the cool people are because you can't drink or smoke inside the pool

No Austin trip is complete without stopping here. Very cool even if you are not into swimming or hiking. Something very unique and well maintained although I did see people smoking even though there were children here
