Top Wimberley Swimming Holes

There are many great Wimberley swimming holes, perfect for hot summer days. In fact, visiting these swimming holes is one of the most popular things to do in the Texas Hill Country during the summer, and reservations are often booked well in advance. But don’t worry, there are also other places like Canyon Lake and the Guadalupe River where you can enjoy swimming, paddling, boating, and tubing. Here are the top three Wimberley swimming holes:

Blue Hole Regional Park

One of the best Wimberley swimming holes is Blue Hole Regional Park, just a short distance from our Bed and Breakfast. This natural, spring-fed swimming hole is not only a great spot to cool off but also a beautiful place to spend the day. The swimming hole is surrounded by towering cypress trees, providing plenty of shade. The water is crystal clear and inviting, and there’s a grassy bank for sunbathing. For an added element of fun, there are rope swings over the water. Be sure to make reservations well in advance to visit Blue Hole Regional Park.

Jacob’s Well Natural Area

Jacob’s Well Natural Area is another of Wimberley’s most popular swimming holes. Located just fifteen minutes away, you can dive into this popular spot’s deep, crystal-clear waters. The well, which bubbles up from a spring 140 feet deep, is surrounded by limestone cliffs, perfect for jumping into the cool waters. Like Blue Hole, reservations are required for Jacob’s Well, and they guarantee you two hours of swim time. Other activities available at the area include hiking and picnicking.

Cypress Falls Swimming Hole

The third Wimberley swimming hole on our list is the Cypress Falls Swimming Hole, located halfway between our Bed and Breakfast and Jacob’s Well Natural Area. While the water here isn’t as cold as the others, it’s still refreshing for a summer afternoon. The Cypress Falls Swimming Hole is located at the Lodge at Cypress Falls and is open to the public. No reservations are needed, and you can also rent canoes and tubes to enjoy on the creek.

Other Ways to Keep Cool in the Hill Country

These Wimberley swimming holes aren’t the only places to cool off in the area. The Guadalupe River is a popular spot for floating, and Canyon Lake offers plenty of opportunities for swimming, paddling, and boating. The Blanco River at Blanco State Park is another great alternative if you can’t get reservations at any of the Wimberley swimming holes.

Other well-loved swimming spots farther from Wimberley include the San Marcos River, Hamilton Pool Preserve in Dripping Springs, Barton Springs Pool in Austin, the Comal River in New Braunfels, and the Landa Park Spring Fed Pool in New Braunfels.
