Two Hole Cave is a series of connected caves located within Gus Fruh Park and Barton Creek Preserve in Austin, Texas.

Now This “Two Hole Cave” is not to be confused with the Two Hole Cave that is located within Discovery Well Cave Preserve Park of Williamson County. That “Two Hole Cave” is located in Cedar Park, Texas.
Entry and accessibility into Two Hole Cave is quite difficult due to being located on the wall of a cliff and the steep rugged terrain that is on a hill that is at a 48º degree angle. The high distance above ground makes accessibility difficult for many people.
To access this cave, you need to climb a steep slope that is located on a hillside. The length of this steep slope is 43 feet long and at a 48º degree angle. There are huge boulders which make accessibility towards getting to Two Hole Cave difficult. Navigating through these boulders can be quite challenging. So wear proper hiking gear and climb with at least one person or climb with a group of 3 people and more.
Now entry into Two Hole Cave is only accessible by crawling as the height of this cave is 2 feet in height and 3 feet in width with no standing room. Sitting on the outside rim perimeter or edge is the only other option towards gaining access or entry. This cave is best to explore from the outside due to its narrow size and small crawlspace.
