GEORGETOWN, TX — Texas is full of hidden treasures, and you don't have to look far to find this mystical lagoon in Georgetown.
At Blue Hole Park, visitors just have to hike a gorgeous 1.3 mile trail to find the watering hole.

You can also snap a photo of the little spillway that creates a miniature waterfall.
