Gus Fruh Details
Centrally located next to the Barton Creek Greenbelt Trail, this deep swimming hole is a popular stopping point for hikers. There's a small beach where you can hang out and a rope swing, although most people are knee-deep in the waters with an ice-cold drink in their hands. This is also a great place to go tubing, but make sure to check the water levels if you are visiting the summer the creek is often dried out in warmer months unless there has been heavy rainfall.
