Barton Springs Pool – Austin

#summervacay Barton Springs is pure summer magic. This giant spring-fed pool sits right in Zilker Park, and the water stays chilly even in the blazing Texas heat. I laid out on the grass, swam laps, and people-watched for hours. It attracts everyone—locals, tourists, students, and even the occasional drum circle. It’s lively but relaxed, and the view of downtown Austin in the background is picture-perfect. One of my top places to cool off and chill out in Texas. #summervacay
