Cypress-shaded green water at Blue Hole in Wimberley, Texas

Hill Country

Blue Hole, Wimberley

Cypress Creek pools under 100-year-old trees in a swimming hole so well-managed you have to reserve a spot to float in it.

Blue Hole is the argument for limiting a good thing. The town caps swimmers per session, which means the water stays clear and you can hear the creek instead of a speaker.

Arrive with a reservation, a cheap chair and no plan. The cypress do the rest.

Don't miss

  • Rope swings under bald cypress
  • Water that holds around 72°F
  • Shaded picnic lawn and a mile of creekside trail
  • Ten minutes from the Wimberley square
