"One of Austin's many highlights is the fact that you can immediately disappear into a stunning natural area any time you feel the call of the outdoors. Just South of Lady Bird Lake, a reservoir on the Colorado River that divides North from South Austin, is the city's recreational gem: Barton Springs Pool."
