Absolutely gorgeous! We got there when it opened at 9am & were the first ones to jump in. It’s such a beautiful area. We didn’t hike but will next time, as our friends and family spent the whole time swimming and jumping off the swings. Highly recommend to bring chairs, water shoes and floaties or tubes. We got there at 9 & left at 1 which was plenty of time! We packed a picnic for lunch and ate there.

Went here today with the kids. It's great fun, not crowded, and the water wasn't as cold as I was anticipating! Lots to do and look at, and lots of shade for the hot days. Tubes are fun to take, and the rope swing is awesome - my kids did not want to leave at the end of our reservation time! I definitely recommend water shoes but they're not 100% necessary. I would absolutely come here again.

Blue Hole is a great park! The swimming hole is well maintained and preserved with limited entries - make a reservation before you come unless you're a local. The water is cold and refreshing, and the rope swings from the giant bald cypress trees are so fun! Outside of the swimming area, the park has many great hiking trails, some soccer fields, playscape, and a pavilion. I love walking the trails with my pup!

We visited this place for a short time. We were not going to swim, so we were allowed to walk around. The staff was most helpful. The bathrooms were surprisingly clean. The paths made walking easy, especially for a 90 year old lady. We would love to come back with the grandkids. Make sure to reserve your place if you want to spend time there and swim. Great spot for a picnic.

If I could give more stars I would. We booked from 9am -1pm w family ranging from 5-55. It was the perfect amount of time for our group. I could have stayed all day. Plenty of shade from the cypress trees. Bring a wagon if you’re taking in a cooler, it’s a quick walk down from the checkin counter but parking might be farther depending on what time you get there. We’ll be back ASAP

Absolutely one of the best things to visit when in Wimberley. It truly is a gem of a park, a wonderful watering hole and a cool place to visit. In every sense of the term! Bring some warm clothes because the water is COLD at times. Fresh spring fed.
