Jacobs Well — Attraction in Wimberley

Covid-19 update: You have to book in advance via their site prior to attending. I booked in April for my June visit.

Covid-19 June visit: it was a nice little trip away from the Austin city life. The hike to the water was about 10-15 minutes long but relaxing.

I thought that there would be less people at the site but there were still 20-30 people there. No one had masks on, so keep that in mind when you go.

Though this is the time to go since the number of those in attendance is smaller than usual. We still watched people jump in the water for photo ops left and right. It would been nice if people just relaxed near the water.

Also, do not wear any jewelry. A lady lost her apple watch in the water after jumping in because it wasn't secure. Wear water shoes when you go- the rocks were slippery .

Overall, nice experience. Jacobs Well is definitely a tourist attraction, very small space but it was a nice ...

We went there on a weekend and surprising it was not overcrowded. It was 104 degrees that day and the family enjoyed the cool water. If you have younger ones, there are 2 different pathways to get there one has many stairs and walking along a cliff (the route we took). There is no easy way to get in on that side kind of have to crawl or slip in. The other path is kid-friendly and has rocks leading into the water with no step drop-off. The water is very shallow and is a fun surrounding area to explore.

If you are into bird watching, there is a bird station there as well as a chart of birds in the area.

Overall, it was a fun experience for the family. You do have to make reservations beforehand if you swim and there is a fee.

Recommended things to bring if you swim are drinking water, sunblock, water shoes (rocks will hurt your feet), a bathing suit, snacks,...

This was a beautiful place to visit. Only thing I didn't know was that you need to make a reservation online to swim and they do run out of spots. I was going to drive over when I asked a local about it. They said the last time they went they had to book 6 weeks in advance. I got lucky and found a spot the next day. No alcohol allowed in and it's obvious why when you get there. The rocks are slippery and if you jump off wrong into the hole you can get hurt. That's the only bad part now to the rest. It's only a 10 minute walk to the well and very easy. The water looks clean and feels great. It is one of the places that actually looks like it does in pictures. If you have the chance to go do so. You...
