Barton Springs

The Barton Springs are four natural springs located on the grounds of Zilker Park in Austin, Texas. The springs are a result of water existing within and flowing through the Edwards Aquifer. The largest spring, Main Barton Spring supplies water to Barton Springs Pool, a popular recreational destination in Austin. The smaller springs are located nearby, some with man-made structures built on top of them to contain and direct their flow. All four springs are the only known home of the Barton Springs Salamander, an endangered species which has received attention from Austin's media and popular culture.
