Swimming in Central Texas
Gracy Title just released their list of top public swimming holes in Austin, Texas. From their list, here are a few of our favorites:
“Hamilton Creek spills out over limestone outcroppings to create a 50 foot waterfall as it plunges into the head of a steep box canyon.”
“Within Zilker Park’s 358 acres, lies one of the crown jewels of Austin, Barton Springs Pool. Three acres in size, the pool is fed from under ground springs and is on average 68 degrees year round.”
“There are 32 springs on the property, and several feed the manmade pool and the natural pool which flows into Lake Travis.”
“Native grasses, wildflowers and groves of varieties of central Texas trees and shrubs are decoratively combined with rocky outcrops, creating a scenic and special environment.”
If you enjoy these beautiful natural features of Central Texas, but would love a more private spot, Dave Murray has many listings that will fit your idea of the perfect Texas oasis. Dave Murray Waterfront Homes
