Brrrr!! Barton Springs stays pretty chilly even during the hottest days of summer, but its beauty can't be beat. An all natural pool, it lies near the heart of Austin, and it's wonderful to hop into and cool off after playing hard at Zilker. Dogs and kids frolic in the clear water while college kids bask in the sun. Try going on a weekday if you can, when it's less packed, to really get to know this Austin staple.
