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.
