About this audio guide
This guide to Sculpture Falls in Austin's Barton Creek Greenbelt traces how a spring-fed swimming hole, carved from limestone by the creek itself, became an unofficial playground with no lifeguard or posted rules. It follows the rope swings, tightropes, and cliff jumps visitors rig up on their own, plus the ranchland history behind the land the city later opened to the public. You will also hear why the Edwards Aquifer keeps the water cold through a Texas summer.
