I have had Hamilton's Pool all to myself on many occasions, both day and night. The hike from the pool to the river is very cool, too.
Texas is always the best. I love this lone star country.
It is VERY cold & beautiful. I was there JULY 30, 2016 with JUSTIN IT WAS JUST WHAT WE NEEDED THANKS AUSTIN, TX💃🏽. Thank you STEVEN
Garner State park is awesome, I didn't think the water was going to be crystal clean, but it actually is, you rarely see any trash out there
*untitled* is it really crystal clear ?
We take littering very serious here in Texas. That's what I love the most about living here. I'm not the trash police or anything, but we all seem to do our part, if I see trash I pick it up, I don't harass or anything, I just pick it up and move on.
Paradise Canyon is awesome and beautiful! Grandchildren went there and had a blast!!
Dripping springs was always my favorite. Great times, and great memories.
Balmorhea State Park should have been on the list! It's by far my favorite!
it has been closed for years. thats why it is not on the list.
@@jram76tx 6 years ago it wasn't. And before they closed it for repairs, they had to turn people away because its gotten so popular.
Barton Springs was always cold when I went there. Love Blue Hole in Wimberley--great rope swings. Balm.orhea is great too and Bastrop State Park has the best swimming "pool"
Balmorhea was always a favorite when I was a kid!
The Guadalupe River in New Braunfels is also terrific.
I seen 2 alligators there so I just go to swimming pools noe
San Marcos river u mean
The Comal
@@foragingfleur noooooooope. Fucking bum
@@kimberlypagano483 nope.... the guad fucking bum. Just go back to California
LOts of great ones. I used to scuba dive in Blue Hole. Balmaorhea ought to be on the short list just because of location. It serves the western half of the state and is such a wonderful stop on the way to all things West Texas.
Hamilton Pool is pretty amazing, whether you swim or not...thanks for this list!
Have to agree--Barton Springs is hard to beat..Great place for family reunions....Hays clan has met there a few times....My DAD swam Barton Creek before it was damed up...GOD BLESS TEXAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Barton Springs has always been too cold for me, takes my breath away rather go tubing in the Comal & Guadalupe Rivers, the Frio is too cold for me too. Love Zilker Park in Austin (where Barton Springs located)
On a 100 plus degree day though it's awesome.
Hamilton Pool definitely the most beautiful
I guessed Concan before watching the video! Crystal, and I mean CRYSTAL clear water, cool, and refreshing!
Wow... !!! My best friend, It's always great. We liked and enjoyed to the end. Thanks
Headed that way in April, New Braunfels and all the surrounding areas! Been decades!
Dive or swim Balmorhea then that night go to Marfa and see the Marfa lights
Love these Texas Country Reporter video's.
Bob Philips has the job that makes me green with envy.
Barton springs is truly the best ! I have videos of me swimming in it !!
I just bought a house in the San Antonio, Helotis area to get the heck out of California (Don't worry we want to keep Texas a red state). I only knew it was a good area to be in and now I am so excited I bought where we did. Makes me excited to leave Japan in a couple years and go to our new home. Thanks for the great videos.
Damn I Love Texas 👍🖒
Texas is lucky to have the swimming holes. In Florida we have gators.
Robert Gilmore I just went to the three sisters springs and swam there. Great place.
Robert Gilmore there are gators in Texas too
Bob Gil east texas has gators you realise
There are plenty of natural springs in Fl, I’ve been to several
Benjamin riggs and outdoors &A there are no crocs or caimans in texas.
Omg I love Bartan Springs in Austin
The Frio River is awesome, I've been countless times.
Barton's Pool is awesome!!
My favorites are Barton springs and Hamilton pool
Landa park spring pool. Ohhhh, yeah.
Burgers Lake Fort Worth Texas
The lady you showed swimming at the end on her board. She swims there every single day. #TrueNative #Austinites
Been there done that as a child in the late 50's early 1964.
Beautiful
Go to Pandale Texas to flat rock crossing you would love it there it's unbelievable
Got my own little piece of the Guadalupe river but I hear they are going to tear down the damn and mess it up
so many places that could be on this list. Jacobs well, the chute on the Comal, tubing the Guadalupe and a few places that are not very "public" I wont name.
I love Barton springs I use to basically live there. On the side where the big rocks are. But I'm in tampa Florida now and our swimming holes are full of alligators and snakes.
Come back Texas needs Hotties like you!!!
Balmoreah was snubbed!
Nice
TCR, you ought to feature this on Rumble. We need more great stuff there.
I've been to two (#1and #3) of these on my trips to see family in Austin. I've also been to The Blue Hole and Schlitterbaun. Austinors (or whatever they call themselves) are very lucky to have these. I would sooner spend all day at Barton Springs than Schlitterbaun anyday.
they call themselves austinites i believe
Barton Springs is soooo cold...too cold to swim in. I like to froze there when I was a kid. Hubby grew up swimming at Garner. & even tho we lived in Austin, neither of us have been to Hamilton Pool.
I like Hamilton pool the most.
Currently you have to make a reservation two months ahead of time to go there on the weekend. Aaarrgghhhh Had many good times there.
How could you leave out Balmorhea Springs at Toyah, Texas just southwest of Pecos? This spring fed, cold swimming hole has always been my favorite!
Barton Springs has got some big Ol' Bass swimming around with you to...kind neat.
The Rock Hole, Neches River, Cherokee County TX.
I don't really recommend going to Hamilton Pool personally...I mean it looks really beautiful but it's so far away from everything and the water is freezing (we went on a hot day). Also you must bring swimming shoes otherwise the rocks on the floor HURT.
How much was it to go there if you know ?
Random Gamer هه
It's less than 30min from downtown Austin. Problem now is that it is so crowded, you need a reservation to go most days.
I cant believe someone would recommend not going to Hamilton Pool!
What About Balmorhea?
Been there Done them ALL AND Jacob's Well!
Garner gets my vote.
texas America s heart & lungs
Its great if you can get a reservation...lots of regulars
Edge Falls north of San Antonio
Barton Spring, went there first time when in the 90's and friend coached me to run and jump in. Didnt know it was a cold spring. Got out faster than I got in. Great place.
Wath part of Texas is there
What about Balmorhea State Park ?, regards from El Paso, Tx
NBTX got canyon lake and guadeloupe/comal river that connect
Never been to Hamilton pool
Jacobs Well near wimberly
Edge Falls between New Braunfels and Boerne
Which one has been height to dive from. ?
Stop bye and now I support your channel. #IAMACREATOR
oh I've been to Hamilton pools it's cool but the trail Is cooler
Currently you have to make a reservation two months ahead of time to go there on the weekend. Aaarrgghhhh Had many good times there.

Looking to go to austin my first time with my son this july..any advice where we csn swim?
A lot of talking an no footage of the TCR crew swimming...I don't know 2:24
While Barton Springs is ok it’s disqualified because it’s in the People’s Republic of Austin and not Texas
The Narrows!
Hamilton Pool is closed to swimmers due to "falling rocks"
1:06 Anybody knows where that's at? Thank you.
Looks like the Nueces river off 35.
@@albertl5979 -----------
Thanx Im going to look for it in my GPS 👌👌👍
Wes Cooksey Park Highway 55 4 miles south of Camp Wood.
Hamilton Pool.
Growing up it was Friday at Lake Travis jumping off the cliffs. Saturday we would go to Llano flats to hang out. Then Sunday to Lake Buchanan for boating an fishing. Hamilton Pool was the place you went with just your date.
Jacob's well on down Cypress Creek on down to the Blue Hole!
where is the place where the bridge and damn is at :53 and :56?
Cooksey Park in Camp Wood, TX
we just came back from texas
I don’t recommend going to Barton springs. It smells gross & the grass area is dirty, it’s always crowded and you have to pay to get in
What. You saying you don't like Ecoli Creek !!
I tried Barton in the middle of the summer once, and it was still too damn cold.
I'm going to tell you you do have to be careful when climbing down that water garden. A whole family of four died a few years ago in that thing. One of the kids looked up the Dad tried to catch them and everybody went down
Does anybody in Austin know of a girl that lives near Barton springs.. I'm trying to find old friends and acquaintances that I had there which was about 13 years ago I want to relocate possibly back to Austin. Her name is autumn?
Wow beautiful
Naw go to the Christoval river
Where is this at?
New bransfauls has entered the chat.
burgers lake is the best
Yeah buddy
Try swimming in Houston in the Bayou next to all the chemical plants... Lol.. Houston has the best night life in all of Texas.. Midtown, Downtown, Washington, Rice Village.. All very close to each other 5 min drive time.
Houstonian here!...we lack the nicer watering holes, we have the Gulf of Mexico's dirt water, I'm amazed to see the amount of tourists that come down here to vacation at the beach, I always think to myself, WHY?!?!? go to Florida, you can't see your feet in the water here!
krause springs is
You missed #fortclarkspringstexas
I need a buddy to explore these whole near 77070
Yes Texas has a salsa hot sauce get yourself done ✅ with Salsa Rica Premont Texas, go get it .. ✌🏻
What the name of the place they're showing with an overpass and cars passing along while people are swimming directly under???
That looks like the Guadalupe in Kerrville.
Believe me.... It does not look like that anymore.
That is Cooksey park in campwood texas
+Cory Cottle no that one is the discussing one
uvalde tx passing Chalk Bluff state park..
Quince swimming hole on the River Road in Camp Wood.
cool
Barton Springs is WAY too cold! 68 might sound refreshing but it takes your breathe away and you can't stay in more than five minutes. Nice place but freezing cold! I think it's more like 62.
Possum Kingdom Lake
Does anyone know what location that is with the highway running next to it? I don't think it is any of the top 3 they are talking about.
That is the Nueces Canyon Dam in Camp Wood, TX Aka Cooksey Park
Michelle San Miguel shhhh! Let’s keep it a secret before the masses ruin it
where is that place locate at
George Perez Austin Texas
Should be titled “most popular swimming hole”
You forgot deadmans hole about 15 minutes away from Hamilton pool. It's better than Hamilton pool
Probably because it's not public... have to know one of the property owners to swim there.
It is my goal to drive around this town in my 1964 Chevy Impala SS, wearing a gorilla suit and smoking a big cigar!
Looks amazing....too bad Id be arrested for havin a joint on me Geez ppl.....
That's why we don't need you stinking the place up" if you want that go to sacramento!
I'd advise you to avoid all the southern states, brainless morons all around the south. They still believe in magic man in the sky (religion) and other crazy prehistoric stuff like the false belief that marijuana is dangerous. You should avoid the south until they catch up though as inbred as they are no one knows how long that might take...
Rob Ode I’m atheist and believe marijuana should be legalised but the south is much nicer than the more liberal west coast states in everything except landscape.
hilarious very clever.
I live in Florida
Jose Morales do you see a gator every day ?
Only when we are swimming. I keep a knife on my belt like Tarzan.
wow swimmin hole best round type safe
