Established in 2010, Jacob's Well Natural Area is an 81-acre park located in Wimberley, Texas. The Jacob's Well spring, located on the property, is the headwaters of Cypress Creek which flows through Blue Hole Regional Park and feeds into the Blanco River. Typically supplying millions of gallons of water per day, the spring sustains many activities such as drinking, farming, fishing, and swimming, for our downstream neighbors. Jacob's Well Natural Area's mission is to preserve and protect this environmentally sensitive area, both above and below the ground, for generations to come.

Swimming at Jacob's Well Natural Area is canceled for the foreseeable future due to low water levels.
