Zedler Mill is a historic mill in Luling, Texas. There are swimming holes, parks, and lots of photo opportunities. It lies on the shore of the San Marcos River and can be enjoyed by all.

San Marcos River
The San Marcos River is one of the best places for swimming. The water is cool, clear and welcoming. Sewell Park is always filled with fun people who like to soak up the sun, jump in, swim, and float. The river begins just north of where these photos were taken – at the San Marcos Springs or Aquarena Springs. Definitely go for a swim if you find yourself nearby.
Hiking with Fish
I have returned to my new favorite pastime for beating the afternoon Summer heat in Austin. Yes, hiking in another section of Bull Creek. The water is clear and cool and typically no more than waist deep. However, there are a few swimming holes to enjoy if you like. The fish are both curious and friendly too. 🙂
Bull Creek
This evening, instead of hiking the trail alongside Bull Creek, I waded my way upstream from Bull Creek District Park. It was a lot of fun and the water was beautiful thanks to all the rains we have experienced this year in Austin. I need to take more hikes like this in the near future. 🙂
Mueller Airport Control Tower
The Mueller Airport Control Tower is a lovely piece of history in Austin. It is one structure that is still standing from the old Robert Mueller Airport days. Since then, Austin has grown, and the Airport was moved further outside of the central part of Austin. Lucky for us, it makes for some nice photos and a walk through the neighborhood will bring you up close to a few flowers for some smells and photographs.
Bull Creek District Park
The recent rains in Austin have transformed Bull Creek District Park into a giant water park for the family. People were having a great time this evening with swimming, sliding down the waterfalls, playing on the rope swing, picnicking, and wading through the shallow parts. There were million dollar homes in the hills, wildflowers on the trails, and family pets wondering how they ended up in the middle of a flooded creek. Forget paying those expensive water park fees for a while and get yourself over to Bull Creek for a swim. 🙂
Wild Basin – Waterfall
My goal today at Wild Basin Wilderness Preserve was to see the waterfall. I thought it would be raging with all the rain we have had recently, and it did not disappoint. The downside was that the crossings for Bee Creek were also raging and the hiking conditions were muddy in places. A good test for my hiking boots. 🙂
Mayfield Nature Preserve – Hiking
This hike was much more beautiful than I had expected. Mayfield Nature Preserve had a lot to offer in a relatively small place. I found mushrooms, wildflowers, the lake, a creek, a cave, small waterfalls, and plenty of mud to hike around in due to all the recent rains. Too much fun! 🙂
Fishes
I got my feet wet today exploring the beauty of Bull Creek. The clear emerald green water is so nice!
St. Edwards Park – Bull Creek
Bull Creek runs through the park. The water here is clear and inviting, possibly even nicer than the swimming holes in the Austin Greenbelt. I successfully crossed the creek twice today without falling in the water. When it gets warmer, this might be a nice place for a swim or an accidental on purpose fall into the creek. 🙂
