There is no fee to park or enter the natural area. Late arrival is okay and we will hold your reservation until you arrive BUT your time block remains the same and you will have less time to swim. Reservations are for a specific two-hour time block and guests must show up for the time specified in their reservation. However, we will not be allowing swimming until conditions improve. Again, this is our normal swimming timeframe. Jacob’s well is normally open for swimming from May 1 – September 30 by online reservation only. We will keep this website updated regarding public swim access. Jacob’s Well’s flow is currently at a level that is unsafe for swimming.
PLEASE NOTE: Public swimming access in Jacob’s Well is contingent on precipitation and groundwater flow. During this period, public swimming access is prohibited but we encourage visitors to come take a peaceful hike and observe the large variety of wildlife that is visible at this time! Therefore we dedicate the chilly fall, winter, and spring months to habitat restoration. This is especially true of the aquatic wildlife of Cypress Creek. However, the large number of visitors we receive during these months can be very disruptive to the wildlife that calls this area home. The cool clear water here makes Jacob’s Well a unique swimming destination in the Texas summer heat. We are currently in an annual period of aquatic restoration which lasts from October 1 – April 30 of each year. Jacob’s Well Natural Area is NOT allowing swimming at this time:

We do not know when we will allow swimming as this is contingent on precipitation and groundwater flow. Swim reservations will remain closed until then.
Once we have sustainable flow and we deem it is safe for swim access, we will update this website and open reservations. The drought in this area has caused the flow from the spring to not be suitable for swimming at this time. Jacobs Well remains closed for swimming until further notice.
