For the History Buffs
Started off as a swimming hole that flowed through Austin where there was a boulder formed an eddy. The 9 acres surrounding the hole was bought in 1915. Later in 1935 the City of Austin bought the property for $10k. The bathhouse that was built back in the great depression was destroyed when the river had a massive flood two weeks after the city purchased the property. Today Deep Eddy Pool is great for lap swimmers and with such a big wading pool, children can play at ease. The not chlorinated water stays between 66 - 75 degrees F. The bathhouse was never open for the public for years but after some donations and funding, it later opened for use in 2007.
