Hamilton Creek spills out over limestone outcroppings to create a 50 foot waterfall as it plunges into the head of a steep box canyon. The waterfall never completely dries up, but in dry times it does slow to a trickle. However, the pool's water level stays pretty constant, even during periods of drought. No pets of any kind are allowed. Only a limited number of people are allowed to enter so arrive early, people wait outside and as people leave, others are allowed in. There are no lifeguards on duty so swim at your own risk. There are areas that get pretty deep. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6051325/a39fdc1d-8608-471f-9980-70c4266329a4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Dripping Springs ![Lakeway showing a house and a small town or village](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6123084/64966aeb-88d7-414c-9f29-3529487dbc56.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Lakeway ![Leander featuring farmland](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6213510/e1edf588-af12-4dbd-951c-b0ad1b281a12.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Leander - Cities near Spicewood - Places of interest [Austin](https://expedia.co.uk/Austin.dx178234)[Dripping Springs](https://expedia.co.uk/Dripping-Springs.dx6051325)[Lakeway](https://expedia.co.uk/Lakeway.dx6123084)[Leander](https://expedia.co.uk/Leander.dx6213510)[Round Mountain](https://expedia.co.uk/Round-Mountain.dx3000459227) - [Lake Travis ](https://expedia.co.uk/Lake-Travis-Texas.d6277543.Attraction) - [Zilker Park ](https://expedia.co.uk/Zilker-Park-Barton-Hills.d6080989.Attraction) - [South Congress Avenue ](https://expedia.co.uk/South-Congress-Avenue-South-Congress.d6219578.Attraction) - [Texas State Capitol ](https://expedia.co.uk/Texas-State-Capitol-Downtown-Austin.d6080975.Attraction) - [Lake Austin ](https://expedia.co.uk/Lake-Austin-Lower-Basin-Lake-Travis.d6225495.Attraction) - [Lady Bird Lake ](https://expedia.co.uk/Lady-Bird-Lake-Downtown-Austin.d6162711.Attraction) - [Barton Springs Pool ](https://expedia.co.uk/Barton-Springs-Pool-Barton-Hills.d6211772.Attraction) - [Lake LBJ ](https://expedia.co.uk/Lake-LBJ-Texas.d553248621532643679.Attraction) - [Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum ](https://expedia.co.uk/Bob-Bullock-Texas-State-History-Museum-Downtown-Austin.d6080915.Attraction) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/mad-service/footer/bnaBanners/BEX_Footer.jpg) ## Go further with the Expedia app Save on select hotels when you book in the app. Our app deals help you to save on trips so you can travel more and manage it all on the go.
