    • Swim at Barton Springs Natural Pool at Zilker Park

    Barton Springs Pool in Austin, Texas, is a historic site that has welcomed a variety of visitors over the years, including legislators and celebrities like Robert Redford, who learned to swim there as a child. The pool continues to be a popular destination, with visitation numbers reaching almost 800,000 in recent years. It not only offers recreational opportunities with its varying depths and grassy lounging areas but also serves as a sanctuary for the endangered Barton Springs Salamander, highlighting its ecological significance. Additionally, the adjacent bathhouse features Splash!, an exhibit educating visitors about the pool, its native species, and the Edwards Aquifer that sustains it.
