Romantic Things to Do in Dripping Springs at the Hamilton Pool Preserve

The beautiful landscape and cool waters of Hamilton Pool draw locals and tourists, young and old alike. The natural wonder was formed when the dome of an underground river collapsed. The result was the unique structure you can see today, which includes a waterfall and a grotto. Part of a 234-acre nature preserve, the pool is considered a “gem” among Texas swimming holes. Bring your bathing suit for a dip, sensible close-toed shoes for the hike there and back or pack a romantic picnic for two to enjoy on the shores. Reservations are required from March to December. Time slots are four hours, but only 140 slots are available each day, and each of you will need your own slot.
