High waters brought by Tropical Storm Hermine have ravaged two of the City of Austin's most popular swimming holes and an often populated hike and bike trail.

The city has shut down the Barton Creek Greenbelt and the Barton Springs Pool due to intense flooding. The city said it will be closed for the foreseeable future.

A flood gauge on Barton Creek conducted Wednesday measured the water at 14 feet above normal.

Officials from the Austin Parks and Recreation Department said once the water recedes, city staff will clean Barton Springs Pool of debris and silt before reopening early next week. The city revised hours of operation at Deep Eddy Pool to accommodate Barton Springs swimmers. The pool will be open from 6 a.m.-9 p.m. during the week and 6 a.m.-8 p.m. on weekends.

City officials said the Greenbelt will also be closed until early next week.

The Parks and Recreation Department blocked off parts of Lady Bird Lake Hike and Bike Trail Thursday due to mud caused by the week's rains. City officials said crews are working to clean up the debris.

City officials said public golf courses are still open, but some courses are limiting play to nine holes. Golfers can call ahead to learn more about conditions.
