Hamilton Pool is one of the most picturesque locations in all of Texas. A trip to the 200-acre Hamilton Pool Preserve will make you feel like you are being transported to another world rich with lush plants and various wildlife species. The pool, a geological masterpiece, was formed by thousands of years of water erosion, which created a collapsed grotto, the canyons, and a beautiful waterfall.

Reservations are required to visit Hamilton Pool Preserve and must be made before your visit. Camping and pets are not allowed on the grounds either, so leave your dogs at home.
