Earlier this summer Hays County Parks Supervisor Jay Taylor said the lack of rain was the primary issue for closing Jacob’s Well — one of Hays County’s most popular tourist attractions.
Despite recent rains, not much has improved in the area forcing Hays County to close the park for the remainder of the year.
“We made the decision to close Jacob’s Well to swimming for the remainder of the year. All existing reservations will be canceled and refunded automatically throughout the coming weeks,” Hays County posted to its website Aug. 25th. “We still need significant rainfall to recharge the Trinity Aquifer, which supplies Jacob’s Well. In the meantime, the park remains open for hiking and viewing the spring. We welcome everyone out to explore, take a guided tour this fall, and to learn more about what’s going on at the nature preserve.”
