Although many residents are employed in Austin, the area remains largely agricultural. While cattle, goats and sheep predominate, many ranches raise exotic animals such as fallow deer, ostriches, llamas, elk, and buffalo. Over 100,000 square feet of commercial space has been built within the city limits since incorporation in 1981, and numerous business parks provide office and retail space for the fast-growing population.

Hamilton Pool: Located just 10 miles from Dripping Springs, this natural deep water pool is part of the Texas Park Service. Open daily from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m., the park offers swimming, hiking, and picnic facilities.

The Springs: Located near the west end of Mercer Street, the original "dripping springs" are delineated by a granite marker donated by the D.S. Noon Lions' club. The springs were a gathering place for the Indians, as well as the source of water for the original settlers in the area.

Milton Reimers Ranch Park: This pristine parkland, open space and reserve land with almost 3 miles of continuous frontage along the Pedernales River is the largest parkland acquisition in the history of Travis County and is a popular destination for mountain bikers, rock climbers and fishermen.
