The Texas Hill Country has so many great swimming holes, but undoubtedly one of the best is Jacob’s Well, located just north of Wimberley, Texas, and a 45-minute drive southwest from Austin. This spot has become so popular that just like the famous Hamilton Pool nearby, the Parks Department had to start instituting reservations for visitors. So, if you’re planning to be in the Austin or San Antonio area and want to take a day trip to Jacob’s Well Natural Area, make sure to follow all these steps and plan ahead so that you don’t miss out!
