Austin has many streams and streams around, and Barton Creek-Greenbelt is one of the most famous. Greenery starts from the southern shore of Lady Bird Lake and continues to Loop 360, from the beginning and the stop along the way. Most of the greenery is in addition to the creek and Barton Springs itself, while it meanders through the park area Silker, and one of the best places to swim under the trees, and among the rocks and trails is called Campbell.
Campbell’s hole is really just an area where the stream expands and stones form a basin and can be reached either on the east side of the stream or on the west side, although most people arrive at the east entrance through the trails. Many swimmers and waders bring their dogs, and picnics on the banks and rocks are also quite frequent. Some of the trails are quite steep, so care should be taken when hiking in and out of the area, as well as offering good hiking or tennis shoes.
This year was very dry, so the water slowly stagnates, and at such times it is better not to swallow the water and not swim with any open cuts, as too frequent dogs use the flow for their personal business, but the swimming hole is very family-friendly, and many Barton Hills neighbors take their children and pets into the hole for a free day of hiking, swimming, swimming and just wandering around.
Campbell's hole was popular with a local swimmer from the seventies or even earlier, and at some point the main entrance was from a trail in Silker park itself, south of the sources, and the hole was mainly used by those who hoped to avoid entrance fees from springs, but in the past, the hole was also considered the most popular destination for skinny dams, or those who prefer to swim in cuts and T-shirts. The crowd is very laid back, and in earlier years, most of the guests would consider “hippies”, in small bikinis, if there were clothes at all.
Many beautiful houses are located on the rocks above the swimming hole, and the whole area offers a magnificent view for residents, as well as tourists and other visitors. One entrance passes through the street from Barton Hills Elementary School, with an entrance sign marked with a city sign, with an audio device that gives rules, instructions and other information, including warnings about snakes and other creatures in the park and surrounding areas,
In some places, the trails take off, and tourists have to wander the brush to find the next section, but someday you can go from Campbell's Hole to the bridge over Loop 360, hike through rocky and irregular terrain, but a very good exercise for the heart.
From the hole you can see many beautiful and interesting species of wildlife, including owls, hawks and other birds, as well as unusual lizards and geckos, and some are tamed enough to actually keep still for a quick picture, taking into account their regular contact with people Another interesting walking trail is the Cathedral of St. George. A mark-meditation walk through the episcopal church, which is a series of footprints behind the church, which is located on Barton Hills Drive and Barton-Skyway, which tupit in the church, which allows pedestrians to access the hiking trails that connect with Barton Creek- Greenbelt and often with Campbell herself.
Campbell Hole has been an attraction in Austin for many years, and many beautiful houses, duplexes and apartments are located in the nearby area. Promotion of the swimming hole in Mopak, which runs west of the green zone, makes it accessible, and this whole area is ideal for nature lovers, college students, young families and professionals, as well as older, more famous ones who still enjoy magnificent landscapes and recreational activities. When going south to Austin on a hot day, take a lively hike with your children or dogs at Campbell Hall for a natural day of fun and water in the tradition of Austin!
