Sometimes you just can’t deal with the Texas heat anymore. When that time comes, use it as an excuse to grab your loved one, throw on your bathing suits and spend a day or two at one of Austin’s water-themed destinations. Try a local option by heading to TownLake. You can rent a canoe or a rowboat and take a few hours to paddle your way through the heart of the city. Or journey out west to Hamilton Pool Preserve and swim in this beautiful natural spring. And there’s always Schlitterbahn Waterpark Resort just a ways south of the city. You can stay a few days there and enjoy the waterslides and other rides.
