2024 summer swimming season suspended at Jacob's Well

This will be the second consecutive summer the well is not scheduled to be open for swimming.

AUSTIN, Texas — For another year, Jacob's Well will be closed to swimmers during the summer months.

On Wednesday, the Hays County Parks Department said the popular swimming spot is suspending its 2024 swimming season indefinitely due to the low water levels.

The closure mirrors last year, when Jacob's Well was also closed for swimming due to insufficient water levels. The well itself was at "zero-flow" for a portion of late summer 2023.

Hays County officials will reevaluate water conditions on a monthly basis to determine whether or not swimming could be allowed later in the year.
