Blue Hole in Wimberley

We've been to a few swimming holes in the Austin area (all great!) but this one we plan on going to this coming summer. So if enough are interested, we can make this a day excursion. It's about a 25 minute drive out into the hill country west from our home.

Here is how one review given on Yelp of the Blue Hole:

"Possibly the most beautiful and refreshing swim in Texas.  One end of this stretch of the creek is very shallow for toddlers, and you can see that there are mothers and small children down there most days.  It progresses nicely, deeper for big kids, then deepest for more proficient swimmers.  Rope and chain swings, huge shady trees, cool water may become murky where many children are jumping in and stirring up the silt, but is otherwise crystal clear.  It is perfect for anyone of any age."

I can picture many of our nephews taking turn on this tree rope swing!
The fee schedule is: children under 3 years old admitted free; children from 3 to 12, $3; adults, $7; adults over 60 years, $3. Leave a comment if you are interested.

People come from all over Texas to swim here. I first swam here 40 years ago. Rated in the top 5 swim holes in the country. Picnic areas are great.
