A beloved Austin swimming hole where Bull Creek pools up among flat limestone slabs creating natural wading areas that are ideal for young kids. The water is shallow enough in most spots that toddlers can splash safely while older kids explore upstream through the rocky creek bed. Shaded picnic areas line the banks and parking fills up fast on hot weekends so arriving early is essential.
