This Week in Wimberley, Texas

Posted By admin on June 15, 2011

Joe Nick Patoski begins his article in the July 2011 issue of Texas Parks & Wildlife magazine,

At first sight, Jacob’s Well appears to be a deep, dark hole at the bottom of a pool of creek water — nothing more. Pay attention to how the hole, about 15 feet in diameter, has perpetually gushed pure artesian water out of the ground since before humans first wandered around this part of what is now known as the Hill Country, and it takes on deeper meaning. Listen to stories about it, and it becomes something much more than just a special natural place.

The article explores our natural spring’s history from early accounts of Spanish explorers to the present day. We have an amazing treat right here in Wimberley, and this article (which includes some great photographs) is a must-read for long-time fans as well of recent discoverers of Jacob’s Well.
