What to know before you go

The Greenbelt is less about one single pool and more about a set of trail-linked access points.

Pick the entry that matches the distance and route you want to walk.

Water conditions can change with rain and season, so the same section can feel different on another day.

This is not a pull-up-and-swim stop. The route matters.

Use the Austin base when the Greenbelt is the main part of the trip.
