The Hamilton Pool Preserve is located just outside of Austin, Texas (about 23 miles). The pool was created when the dome of an underground river collapsed due to massive erosion over thousands of years. Since the 1960s, the pool has been a popular swimming hole for local residents. The perserve consists of 232 acres of protected natural habit including the pool that has a 50 foot waterfalls making it even more spectacular. The pool is surrounded by large slabs of limestone and stalactites grow down from the ceiling. The cave also is home to moss, ferns and cliff swallows.
