Description:
With its jade green natural pool and 50-foot waterfall, Hamilton Pool is great for swimming, hanging out on the small beach and exploring the large collapsed grotto that surrounds this natural swimming hole. Off the beaten path, you can hike the trails along the Pedernales River. It’s a 1/4 mile hike from the parking lot to the swimming hole. Make sure to call if water quality is safe for swimming. Reservations required. Pets are prohibited.

Time Slots
There is a morning time slot (9:00 am – 12:30 pm) and an afternoon time slot (2:00 pm – 5:30 pm). Each time slot requires a reservation.

Afternoon Reservation Period
No entry is allowed after 5:30 pm. Recreational activities end at 5:30 pm. Visitors must exit the preserve by 6:00 pm.

Swimming: The swimming status is determined by bacteria levels and recent rainfall. We allow swimming all year long on days when the bacteria levels and recent rainfall are acceptable, but swimming is NOT guaranteed.

Hiking Trail: The hiking trail to the pool is a quarter of a mile long. It is steep, narrow, and rugged with uneven steps. Sturdy shoes are recommended. It takes approximately 30 minutes to hike from the parking lot to the pool and back.
