Jacob's Well is a perennial spring in the Texas Hill Country. It is located north of Wimberly,
Texas. The mouth of the spring here is 12 to 15 feet wide. The shaft goes straight down for thirty feet and then angles down until it reaches the aquifer 125 below. The width of the cave changes as it heads down which may relate to the deaths of at least eight scuba divers and the last few decades. Jacob's Well in Texas Hill Country is a perennial karstic spring located on the bed of Cypress Creek in Wimberley. The mouth of the well is four meters in diameter through which thousands of gallons of water surges up per minute feeding Cypress Creek that flows through Wimberley, sustaining Blue Hole and the Blanco River, recharging the Edwards Aquifer, and finally replenishing estuaries in the Gulf of Mexico.
