This beautiful swimming spot is a popular objective within the Barton Creek Wilderness Park. In summer, the water is usually around 70 degrees fahrenheit (21C), making for a lovely swim. Water shoes are recommended, as the rock can get very slippery.

Nice place for a swim on a VERY hot day.

Barton Creek's finest rock formation. A great place to ride to for a dip, or just to stop off and take a break.
