Special Notes

- Hamilton Pool Preserve has a capacity limit of 75 parking spots. Once the lot is full, the park lets one car in as another car leaves. When swimming is permitted, waits of 25 minutes are not uncommon.
- Getting to the pool requires a steep quarter mile trek downhill. There is no handicapped access available.
- The preserve is occasionally closed due to flooding or hazardous trail conditions.
- The preserve closes at 6:00 pm and entry is not permitted after 5:30.

“My weary limbs are scarcely stretched for repose, before red dawn peeps into my chamber window, and the birds in the whispering leaves over the roof, apprise me by their sweetest notes that another day of toil awaits me. I arise, the harness is hastily adjusted and once more I step upon the tread-mill.”
—“E. B.,” U.S. farmer. As quoted in Feminine Ingenuity, by Anne L. MacDonald (1992)
