Christine NewmanAugust 17, 2013Very crowded on a summer weekend but still a really beautiful spot. Great swimming and great exploring. Wear water shoes - rocks are sharp and slippery. Prettiest place I've found in Texas so far.- The DaytripperOctober 17, 2012If the weather is right, take a dip in Krause Springs, a hidden-oasis swimming hole complete with rope swing, sunbathing rocks, waterfalls, and a hidden grotto.
DoreenNovember 8, 2014Very pretty. Cool waters. Not as busy as other swimming holes. You'll find some caves & a nice waterfall, but be careful - it's slippery. You may see a water snake on a quiet day.
Tim HettlerOctober 12, 2015Sunbathe on the rocks. Swim in the waterfall. Jump off the rope swing. Meditate under a giant wind chime. Repeat.
Austin American-StatesmanFebruary 22, 2012No pets, no glass, no credit cards, but it sure is here, and Opie's barbecue is close distance. The pools are open 9 a.m. to sunset. $5 for 12 and older; $4 for ages 4-11; free for anyone under 4.
Michelle AndersonJune 17, 2015Rocks with water pools, rocks to lay out on, float in the water, rope swing, waterfalls, it's all good.
Ed LiberatoriSeptember 2, 2011Great camping spot. Try to get a campsite down @ the bottom, on the spring, and enjoy the hike to the swimming area.
Austin American-StatesmanApril 8, 2011No pets, no glass, no credit cards, but it sure is pretty out in Spicewood overlooking Cypress Creek ‚ and Opie's barbecue is within striking distance. Read more
Dianne RessmannApril 6, 2010plan to hike down to the rock area where the water fall is, agility is a must, love of a cold, cold swim necessary
Just may be the best swimming hole in Texas. Only the hot springs in Big Bend can contend.
- brandon enrightJune 22, 2010Cliff jumping is ok but the water tends to very in depth back around there (im a local swimmer who goes there almost every other day)
