Head west, between Austin and San Marcos, across the seemingly endless Texas Hill Country vistas dotted by quaint towns and you'll find the old mill town of Wimberley. The town was initially settled within the 1840s, after Texas was a state. Mills powered by Cypress Creek kept the town growing, and changing names, for years. Each new mill owner gave the settlement a brand new name, until it officially became Wimberley in 1880 after then mill owner Pleasant Wimberley.

Probably the most commonly known spot in Wimberley is Blue Hole. Shaded by Cypress trees, this spring-fed swimming hole is always inviting. Purchased through the capital of scotland- Wimberley in 2005 with the aid of the Texas Department of Wildlife as well as other public funding sources, Blue Hole will be enjoyed for generations to come. The grassy banks that surround the cool waters are fantastic for sunbathing and picnicking. The rope swings hanging from your tall branches of the Cypress trees entice daredevils to leap to the deep water with splash.
