Brinks Crossing Details

Do not blink or you might miss the entrance to this wonderful swimming hole. Located right at the intersection of Center Point River Road and the Guadalupe River, this roadside pool is an excellent stop for a quick dip. Park your car and walk towards the woods until you find a pool with a small patch of sandy beach. The water is mostly shaded, thanks to all the neighboring trees. This makes the water nice and cool at all times of the year. It is rarely crowded (especially compared to other lakes and swimming holes in Hills Country), so you will be able to enjoy your swim in complete solitude.
