About this swimming hole

Bull Creek carves a chain of small waterfalls and swim pools through this north Austin park. The pools are shallow enough for kids but strung together by little cascades that make the whole creek feel like a natural water park. It is a neighborhood favorite that stays busy on summer afternoons.
