WEST AUSTIN. Once private lands, this 232-acre preserve is now owned in part by the county and is being restored to its natural state. Its focus is a soothing green pool nourished by a 45-foot waterfall. The formation took shape millennia ago when the land above an underground river collapsed; today, it's a pastoral haven for swimming and enjoying nature. Trails wind about the property, and native vegetation and wildlife are prominent. Picnic tables and restrooms are available, but other amenities are few, and restrictions apply as to what's permitted onto the property. Thirty miles southwest of Austin.
