It's an extremely zen and tranquil space that brought us such harmony on our visit. It's as though you're able to breathe and relax without a care in the world whilst walking this lovely oasis. Everything is meticulous from the koi pond to the raked gravel. The grounds seem to have brought us so much peace and balance as we took it all in. If visiting Fredericksburg, it's a must-see. Bonus: No admission. Free to enter.

Butterflies floating and gliding all around me with a good book was precisely what I needed. Later, I headed down one of the paths and came to an area with a big beautiful bird feeder set up in a shaded, tucked away area and a lady asked me if I would like to help fill the feeder. I was honored. She explained she was with Friends of Fredericksburg and they are often out there restocking the feeders for their feathery friends. She mentioned their website and I can't wait to research more about them and their events. I will have to venture back that way soon to check out more of the trails and scenery.

No one knows how the cross got there but it's there now. Overall, very peaceful and reminiscent of Christ the Redeemer in Brazil or its mimic in Cuba. Just a lovely and peaceful place to sit and center yourself before you head back into the noise and bustle of the tourist filled Fredericksburg

Believe it or not there are people I talk to that have lived here all their lives and not been. I must admit I became aware of enchanted Rock about 12 or 13 years before I visited. Shame on me. It's the largest monolithic pink granite dome in the United States. Rising about 1800 feet it sits in the Enchanted Rock Nature area of about 640 acres. There is great hiking, exploring and camping to be had just outside Fredericksburg Texas. If you haven't been.... Go! *Missing former reviews and photos?

They really keep it well maintained. Couple of tips. They do charge for parking. Please do not try and pass through that zone without permission and paying. You will get a ticket. We saw a couple do exactly that. Be respectful and pay your fees. HYDRATE!! We went very early and it wasn't as hot but we definitely felt it some. We hydrated ourselves 24 hours before and took plenty of water and hydration salts. Safety first. Keep on the trails!! It is very easy to get lost. We took a wrong turn but immediately caught it and used the map provided. We saw a couple of girls who did the same. Have fun and enjoy!!

There's a visitor center, and several gardens and placards all along the trail to tell the history and ecology of the area. The well itself did not appear to be flowing or if it was it was flowing only slightly. The hike as you get close to the well is a little bit more treacherous, but not too bad. Once you are there, the well is dark emerald green in color. It looks kind of mysterious. lol Good spot for a short hike to explore some nature and see a natural wonder.

But despite that notion, Jacob's Well overall is very underwhelming. The hike is probably the shortest and least challenging I've ever experienced. There are several mini trails that are great for kids to explore, along with a large tire swing at the front entrance. Jacob's Well is definitely very kid- and senior-friendly as it's not very strenuous at all to hike or walk around. It's a nice that it's there for everyone to experience nature but again, very underwhelming. We spent about half an hour there which was enough time to experience the entire area. Definitely worth a visit if it's your first time in Wimberley.

Everyone who hikes here are really respectful with the trails/area which is such a pleasant thing as there's usually not a lot of people who do that now a days.

Good information about the park too and didn't feel I would get lost either (good flat paths you can take). I barely saw any trash flying around either and could tell they keep this park well kept.

It's basically just a stretch of green space flanked by some older local residential homes.

There are benches, picnic tables, and a set of swings, but that's the extent of the amenities here. However, in the middle of the park are two gigantic trees, one of which is a pecan.
