This famous swiming hole is located about a mile upstream from Barton Springs on Barton Creek. You could also get to it by taking the Spyglass Road access point and then turning left onto the trail once you get down to the creek. This should be a good size pool when the water is up after a rain and there are additional places to try both upstream and downstream from this site. This place will get crowded in the afternoons so consider yourself warned. There also are some nice bluffs in the area, although unlike in the old days now houses dot the top of the cliffs.
