River is low this time of year, but nice and cool outside. Leaves are changing, makes it pretty outside. Can easily walk to both sides of the creek

Nice, clean, fun face to relax on the beach or play in the water. It is great for young children with the shallow creek are, but just as fun for adults or experienced swimmers with the deeper section above the walls. There is also an intermediate area in the middle with a small waterfall that the kids had a blast tubing down. There is a decent bathroom and plenty if parking including a parking garage. One word of advice, the walls and the rocks on the bottom can be slippery so bring water shoes, and there are some shades spots but they are limited so an umbrella or canopy is recommended if spending an extended amount of time.

People are friendly. Its a family environment. Water is nice. Pretty spacious spot. Occasionally there will be moss gathered in the water if its not flowing. You can to swim, jump off a 30ft cliff into the water, or just hang out. There is a walking path or two. Its a very simple area for those like myself who likes to chill in natural spots. Easy parking near by. Depending on the seasons, the water is just right or very cold. Restrooms arent as sanitary as they could be. So go in with some caution if you must use it.

Awesome non touristy area. Several different depths to pick from. Just becareful its very slippery. Was also nice there was a police officer at the location.

Kid friendly, shallow pool at the bottom area of the waterfall. clean clear water. Nice nature trails, paved sidewalks for running.But WARNING: I did see a huge 6ft snake sun bathing on the bottom right side of the waterfall the last time I was there. So just keep your eyes open.

Was a perfect place just to side on a bench and hear the running water.

Family friendly with shallow areas for kids, this spot on the San Gabriel river is free of charge! Parking is nearby and there is a public restroom as well. Several shaded picnic tables are available underneath beautiful live oak trees . Water quality is good as it flows out of Lake Georgetown.

Blue Hole is a fun swimming experience. There are barbecue pitts and park tables for a nice family outing. A cliff on the northside of the river looked fun, but had posted signs deterring jumping.The bathrooms are gross and unsanitary. No soap and no holes for the building to breath makes a urine soaked building fill with mold. Avoid them if possible.The parking garage is close and provides ample room. I went on a Labor Day, even so I had no difficulty finding a spot and setting out.Where the river is damned, the deepest area I found was about eight feet deep. The green algae filled waters were a bit gross, with no showering facilities to rinse off.It would be a good place to go back to barbecue and walk a dog. The shallow water after the damn made a nice area for the doggos to play. It is posted to keep all pets on a leash at all times. The rule is not obeyed.

Cliff diving is gr8, about 30 feet at tallest lip, people are real nice and park security is scarce

Very beautiful scenery. Closes at dusk. Which is sort of an inconvenience. As well sort of a statement that is based on perception. But overall, relaxing.

Like this place. Not very crowded. Has different water levels for different age groups. Short walk from parking to the lake. Limited picnic benches. Drones need special license.

Amazing well kept city park. River and small falls!!

This place is a probally the best in Georgetown. You can swim,fish,walk,bike all the great things you can do outdoors. Great for kids,adults and animals. Animals must be on a leash.

What a wonderful little piece of heaven in the heart of Georgetown. You have a great choice of places to park and walk to the river. Not to bad of a walk maybe a block. Just depends where you want to be. Another wonderful thing is dogs are welcome. Plenty of children for your kids to play with (even 4 legged kids). Please this is one of the most wheelchair friendly spots I have found. You can get close to the water but not in it in a wheelchair. My mother would love to ride down the road in her wheelchair and see everyone playing and having fun. Please there is shade from trees..Thats a big plus in the Texas sun.

It is so beautiful here. Be careful of walking into the river on the big rocks. They are covered in algae and extremely slippery! I fell flat on my back. . Luckily the water broke most of my fall. Pickett trail is great, but it is not for the casual hiker (or young children or certain dogs). It has extremely steep ups and downs and some unprotected cliffs. Our dog was pulling me a lot of the way and it was very stressful because there were so many instances where I feared being pulled off a cliff edge or down a steep rocky decline. There was also a steep set of stairs and a bridge made of metal mesh. Our dogs did not like that at all. We almost could not get them to go down the stairs. My husband had to carry one of our (65 lb.) dogs across the bridge because she refused to cross (it did not look comfortable for dog paws). Dont let this scare you off from the trail. It is gorgeous and so worth it (bring your for sure). Just be prepared for something a little intense. And if you just want to stroll, the paved trail is a nice, relaxing alternative (we took that on the way back).

Dog friendly, fishing friendly, small grill friendly. With small waterfalls and plenty of spots to just chill out in the water this was an excellent second/third choice for my team. As both locations at Lake Georgetown caused some problems with our organization. Russell Park had and no pets or grills sign up and cedar breaks park was full to capacity with cars and overflow parking become equally full we bailed. Blue Hole happened to be around three to four miles away, and was our last hope. Not too crowded, but crowded enough to keep some of our friends at home, we had a nice shaded area by the pathway and set up shop. Great time, plenty of sun and fun, we will be back for sure.

Nice setup by the river theres three cliff jumps, bbq grills work picnic tables, fishing and swimming. What more could you ask for? Beautiful location

Great environment for the whole family. Medical crew and ambulance, along with law enforcement on scene,it made the experience feel great. The bands and groups playing were amazing,cant wait to comeback.

This place was nice to bring the hole family too! Everyone was friendly and it wasnt too crowded. There are cliffs here to jump off, although it does say closed right now.

It was a nice day and there were alot of families out. Very nice that there are places to walk in and other places to jump in where its deeper. Families were also picnicking along the river.

I love this spot. Beautiful area to swim, hike or just relax and have a picnic. Good fishing spot as well. The trail along it goes on for 68 miles too. It does attract a lot of people on the weekends, but there is plenty of roomt o stretch out still and have your own place. Parking is hard to deal with when there are a lot of people, but there is a couple of parking lots. Dog friendly for those who love to bring g mans best friend. Pretty clean area as well. Have visited many times.

One of my favorite Georgetown places to dip my feet into after walking or jogging a trail! Beautiful scenery and lots of space to have a good time!

Blue Hole Park is a nice place to enjoy the water and the sun. Lots of space and different depths. The water is not clear and pretty though. Expect cloudy and green.Dogs are permitted on leash. Areas are available to picnic. And theres a rocky beach area where you can setup a shade tent.

When it has plenty of water, 5 stars. It doesnt any more though.

One of the best parks to refresh your soul in the Austin area

Beautiful peaceful, parking is on 2nd and 3rd street at Rock Street. Nice to enjoy the afternoon.

So close and convenient... waters not too cold, great for families, variety far as deep & shallows for all kinds of swimmers. Not super clear water, but its moving and not stagnant

Awesome swimming hole, not too crowded, family friendly, beautiful water. I also appreciate the police officer that came through to check on things at pretty regular intervals. Very clean, not a lot of litter or broken glass to worry about. Nice place to come for a swim or to spend the day swimming and catching some uv rays.

Really enjoyed the day here. Wasnt to crowded and police presence was a welcomed. Everyone was pleasant and Juat grateful to be outside. Blessed day for sure!

Pleasant place to relax, childhood favorite of mine.

1st time here and it was a very nice experience. Extremely shaded so on hot days its bearable. The waters were very refreshing and cool. Historical Trail Pickett Trail was a lovely find to stumble upon. The trail from start to finish was about 1 hour with stops along the way for videos and pictures. There are restrooms on site as well as shaded table areas. Very nice place for a walk and relax w/food and friends. Theres also a hidden cemetery along the trail. So peaceful. Definitely will be back!

Such a great park. I love coming here. My dogs loves to swim so we come here sometimes. Also it is nice place to have a mini picnic by the water

Very Good now. Once when I was swimming a long time ago I was 4 and didn’t know how to swim there’s a place called “The boot”and while most people can swim try to avoid it you cannot rest your feet it’s 14 feet deep you can get out by clipping your nails onto the floor but other than that great place!

Great little swimming spot for the family. Several pools of river water on the San Gabriel. Bring your chairs and maybe shade and enjoy the refreshing water. Best if it rained in the past week up river.

Love this perfect little spot. One of the few water holes in Central Texas not ruined by the crowds yet

Fun time with the kids, although some of the hiking trail was near a cliff, making it both exhilarating and nerve-wracking.

Theres a free public parking garage 2 blocks south at W 3rd and S Rock St

Its beautiful, its stellar and its local. Its a sight to enjoy and to walk about.

Its a great place to take the kids the water is a little cold but in this heat it feels good

Nice quiet walk along the water. There is an area near the top waterfall where you can go swimming. Pets are allowed in the area but must remain on a leash.There are two parking lots and one is marked with a big sign at the intersection. But you should drive down in the direction of the water because there are many spots that are much closer.The are a few disabled parking spaces there too.

Loveeeeddd ..this place. Best scenery! You can do kayaking, swimming, theres a little area for jumping into the water. Theres some picnic tables on the left side of the walking trail.. ...good security too. Seen a patrol officer overseeing it all. Dog friendly place

The water falls, walking path, and beautiful scenery, are amazing. And right in the middle of town!

Very nice park. Water is clearly. Nice place for family to enjoy.

The water is kinda murky, but there is picnic benches in the shade, limited parking but I never had a problem finding a spot. It’s nice but not the best swimming hole. Still it’s better than trying to go to Barton Springs on a hot day

I love this place. Amazing swimming pool for good training. And also here you could swim with little children. I recommend this place for good training and relaxing family picnic.

Beautiful area however on a holiday or weekend it gets very crowded and there are always those groups who blast their music. Encroaching on your own groups enjoyment and/or simply enjoying the peace and beauty of the outdoors.

I love this place! The parking seems limited but theres a large FREE parking garage just up the road a little ways (still easy walking distance). Theres trash cans every hundred feet or so, so no excuses for litter! People bring little grills and coolers and canopies and set up a spot to enjoy the day. Theres basically three water sections to enjoy, with the lowest/first section being shallow, and the highest/furthest section being deep (Ive actually never been up there but it looks like peoples shoulders and up are the only parts above water). If its been dry then the water level can be low, so just keep that in mind. The scenery is beautiful and we always enjoy our time here.

Nice cool down spot.. little cliff jumping shallow spot for the little ones

Fun place to hang out for have lunch and then get your feel wet. Pretty popular spot in the summer.

Beautiful little spot! Waterfall and clear blue water!

Beautiful location, unfortunately, littering is a problem.

Love this place its amazing cannot wait to go again

We truly enjoy this treasure in the heart of Georgetown. The water level becomes low beyond the dam by mid summer but the hole is deep. Hours of recreation,swimming and memories.It is also neat when the water level becomes so low, you can practically walk in the riverbed to San Gabriel Park, what a treat!

Cold water is great in the summer. The water flows from the hollow country and doesnt stagnate and get warm. So amazing

Amazing place. A bit slippery in places, but overall a great place. Totally worth visiting

Very scenic. Picket Trail was great.

Beautiful place to swim and relax with a picnic!

Nice place, bring your own food and drink.

Awesome place, water was warm. No hard rocks to step on. Can bbq but not near water saw some people do it on the sidewalk. Tubes welcome and dogs too on leash

Water was perfect. Plenty of shade to picnic. Police presence.

Nice location for walking, we did not have time to try the water but a few families were cooling off in the water.

This is an excellent park with lots of pass to ride your bike or have a stroll next to the San Gabriel River. There are also bathrooms located trap the park as well as a parking lot.

Had a great time! Great water. Perfect for kids and families but also perfect for a beer.

Great place for swimming and there are paved trails along the way to run or walk. They also have ducks wondering about that love to be fed. You can continue along the trails along the San Gabriel which would lead you into different parks with so many beautiful views of nature throughout. Great morning hike run.

This was a great find! It is absolutely beautiful. My boys had a blast jumping off the rocks and swimming.

Didnt quite look like the pic on their website. River scum almost everywhere. People fishing near where a dozen children were playing which was unsafe. But the bright side was it was dog friendly and had 3 handicapped parking...they need six...

Quiet on Tuesday afternoon.

An excellent swimming spot with beautiful surroundings. A wonderful place to spend the day with your family.

Clean water. Pretty convenient parking. Water shoes and lounge chairs recommended!

Great place to take the family and have a picnic or bbq

Nice place to hike, bike or cool down during hot Texas summer. I will be back - many times!

Awesome place to swim spend time with family bummer you can not jump off the cliffs $500 fine... so silly, but very well maintained and they now have bathrooms!

I love it here! I have been going for years and its always really nice.

Can only recommend Blue Hole after a spell of good rain, but when the water is high it’s a great place. It’s the perfect slice of real life. Interesting people. Tejano music. Food grilling. And you should probably not jump from the cliffs once GPD patrol arrives.

Nice place to take the family very relaxing. The people are generally really nice as well.

Not what it use to be... Over crowded on weekends. City has over grown itself unfortunately

Refreshing...free family entertainment

Loved this place. Can be a very high workout. Loved it. Beautiful. Be aware that smoking weed on the bank is evidently a normal event.

Great spot for families! Plenty of space but, not enough parking nearby.

Wonderful park. Wish we had it like this in Houston

Always refreshing during Austins inferno season

Weve done many family and maternity sessions here. Its a great park to come relax, have a picnic, and bring the pups for a hike. The water is beautiful and the trees are beautiful year round.

Whole the blue hole isnt really very blue, nor is it much of a hole, it is an lovely swimming hole, offering a year-round tranquil scenic spot right in the heart of Georgetown.Easily accessible by car or bike trail, its one of my familys favorite spots.

Nice place to come visit.. the map is a little bit akward when comes to arriving.. but plenty of friendly locals to help point you in right direction..bring a wagon to cart your stuff. Theres definitely a distance to walk from the car to the waterfalls.. rock bed is a bit slippery.. water shoes helped.

Excellent little spot. Tons of people show up during the weekend so arrive early

Clean place to swim or float. Fun for families and dogs on leash.

Lovely place, such nice waters and it not even slightly inconvenient to get to! Such a gem!

This place is Awesome!! Love the view and the energy.

Very nice area. Wish they didnt have a cop sitting there.

Nice place to cool off if you live in Georgetown or surrounding communities. Water was warm after a hot summer

Good place

My pup LOVES to swim there

Nice park! Peaceful family atmosphere.

Lovely piece of the Hill Country to enjoy away from Austin. Swimming areas and shallower areas are great for families with kids of all ages. Bring a blanket and sit on the rock bank along the water if you don’t feel like swimming! Plenty of place to sit in the shade as well as picnic tables around if needed, though they can fill up quickly. Parking may be a bit tricky but there are a few free small lots around and the public parking garage nearby is also free.

Good place for kids and families..

The atmosphere is very Spiritual! This place is simply beautiful! I had a magical romantic time with my bo!

Awesome spot for the family. Kids love it!

Better after a rain.

The water is a dirty but its mostly the plants that make it look like that.Dogs swim there,people go fishing,and you can take food and the best part is you can go for FREE!!! Not even a penny. (There is a lot of land in Georgetown)

One of the most beautiful parks/rivers Ive ever been to. Always very clean, pet friendly, and restrooms in working condition.
