Within Zilker Park's 358 acres lies one of the crown jewels of Austin - Barton Springs Pool. The pool itself measures three acres in size, and is fed from underground springs with an average temperature of 68-70 degrees, ideal for year-round swimming. Over the years, Barton Springs Pool has drawn people from all walks of life, from legislators who have concocted state laws there to free-spirited, topless sunbathers who turned heads in the 1970s. Robert Redford learned to swim at the pool when he was five years old while visiting family in Austin.

This is my favorite place in Austin! Love to rent a kayak and float on the water for hours. Yes, they have a few places to do so. It’s clean and nice! Plenty of interesting people to see and good vibes all around. Gets fairly busy in the summer months but there is still room for everyone. The lake is outlined with a hike and bike trail and you will see just about everyone doing some type of exercise. You will also be able to take really good pics here especially on a sunny day. Backdrops are amazing! Highly recommend!
