You might know this already, but just in case not…During ACL fest, if you drive to the south entrance using Bluebonnet Street, you will come across some coppers standing at a barricade. If you tell them you are going for a swim at the springs, they will move the barricade for you like you’re the Queen of England and allow you to pass. Then you head on over to the pool. I confirmed the other day with an attendant that this still works. It’s possible many people know this now, but back when I used to do it pre-lockdown, I’d arrive to mostly have the entire place to myself—you can hear the 50,000 music fans just over there, and yet the pool is an uncrowded oasis. Pretty magical.
