Jacob's Well is fed by a perennial spring that flows off Cypress Creek, not far from the town of Wimberley, Texas. The mouth of the cool, clear spring is 12 feet wide and is used as a popular swimming spot for the locals who own the land near the creek.
From the opening in the bed of the creek, Jacob's Well cave drops vertically almost 30 feet and then continues running downward through a series of chambers until it finally reaches about 120 feet.
The cave system has been studied, explored, and mapped by divers from the Jacob's Well Exploration Project, and they have determined that it has two main passageways.
One runs for about 4,500 feet from the surface and a second one continues about 1,000 feet from the point where it separates from the main conduit.
The cave is extremely attractive to cave divers, but is definitely not for the inexperienced.
