One of our family favs a short drive from the property. Make a day out of it and tour the small town of Wimberly. You will need to book online as there is a fee. In the fall winter just double check as things change in slower season. Just wear your swimming suit and some comfortable clothes over top and bring a towel and get ready for some beautiful time in nature and a BIG SPLASH.
