The Story of Jacob's Well Natural Area 

A very worthwhile account of a unique and precious (but relatively unknown) natural resource that deserves greater viewership. The producers and narrators of this video (some of whom I'm fortunate to know) are commended for this insightful and educational tribute to Jacob's Well

Wow... !!! My best friend, It's always great. I wish you every day of your development. Have a happy day!

We have a house in the family 80 yards downstream from Jacobs Well. Spent many summers there in the 70’s. Nobody else was ever really there back then. When I was a kid I thought we owned it because it was In the back yard. Good times. How things have changed over the decades.

here from that one tiktok dude

What happened to the iron grate that covered the entrance to the well? My grandparents and later my father and uncle owned the same home just off the square in Wimberly, Texas beginning in the 1940s. I think grandfather paid about $6000 for the home in the 1940s which was covered with petrified rocks of various shapes and sizes. We went to the ‘Blue Hole’ near the town a few times during the summer months. Once my father took me to Jacob’s Well just to see it. We were the only ones there, and he said it was private property. As I remember, there was an iron bar grate that covered the mouth of the well. It did not impede the flow of water at all… just an iron bar grate. The bars were spaced 5" to 6" apart. He said it was to keep people out because of the danger and death of several divers. Does anyone remember a grate that may have been installed over the mouth of the well?

Thanks for this great video! I have been swimming down stream in Blue Hole my whole life. I love Wimberley, our Texas rivers, springs and aquifers!

Pretty gorgeous! Lovely,and unusual.

Please take care of it. Do anything you can to save it. Mankind destroys many things.

The place is so nice when I visited it the water was completely clear and nature was all around you

I just got back from texas to see jacobs well i waited a long time to see it wow it was everthing i dreamed of and more so neat meet alot of friendly people there

I'm going here in a few weeks! I'm so excited!

The giant freshwater prawns are all gone. Once, lobster size prawns populated every crack and crevice of the spring. Why have they disappeared? They were delicious and nobody thought enough to protect their population. They were a beautiful emerald green that turned blue and red when cooked. Tender and succulent is how they are remembered. Gone too soon.

Great video. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for a very informative video!

Oh no! People building houses and roads?! Swear to god, people from every corner of the USA are moving to the TX hillcountry. In 20 years, it'll be the "TX hillsubdivision"

So that's a lava tube that filled with water. I just saved you all 11 minutes of your life it is beautiful though

Very well done. Can't wait to come back when it gets hot outside again!

TikTok brought me here

Mankind doesn't have a problem destroying things that's for sure

I'm curious............ Why not hire some experienced divers to lay a series of ropes down into the well so that people can pull themselves through it with their arm muscles rather than having to rely on their lung capacity and leg power?

Hopefully, EPA won't dump toxic mine waste in there . . .

the sign near that Jacobs well say ABSOLUTELY NO JUMPING OR DIVING..... that's all those people were doing there.???

Look really beautiful.

Facebook brought me here.

The water is colder than a cooler water

bill johnson is my beloved grandfather

Lugar lindo 😍💜 mais da um pouco de medo rs

Hopefully Nestle doesn't come and buy it, then pumps it out to bottle and sell back to the public.

Utah had 2 that I know of .One was on the cover of National Geographic in the 1970s the state dynamited it because people would party and skinnydip.And the church didn't want outsiders coming into area.

Does anyone know when the best time of year is to go? Obviously summer. But which month?

Why is it called Jacobs well when it belonged to the Indians for thousands of years...?

WOW

in the first frame, you spelt Jacob's Well wrong. Good start.

THATS MY NAME!

Great video! Besides the history of this place (someone know if there is an indigenous name (pre-Jacob)?), the showing of the wildlife is important. There is a lot of it, people don't notice it all when they visit. Hint-find a quiet place and just sit for five minutes, ten is even better.

What????

Another beautiful Eden destroyed by piggish greedy people! Few are left but they will be gone also as soon as a developer or greedy people devise a plan to profit from them. Either that or we love them to death, same outcome. People, the root of all evil!

Scary so scary! Hydrophobes avoid this video!

I was in heaven until the Jacob dude ruined it.Ask a Native American to tell the story.
