Wimberley, Hill Country tourist destination in Hays County, Texas, US.
Wimberley sits where Cypress Creek meets the Blanco River, creating natural swimming spots like Blue Hole Regional Park and Jacob's Well. These water features form the heart of the community and draw visitors looking to swim in clear pools surrounded by trees and hills.
The settlement started as a trading post in 1848 and grew around a mill operation before being named Wimberley in 1874. The location along the rivers made it a natural spot for commerce and settlement in the Hill Country.
Monthly Market Days bring hundreds of vendors together selling handmade crafts, antiques, and local goods in outdoor spaces. These markets are a gathering place where you can see how the community celebrates local artisanship and creativity.
The area experiences flash flood risk between April and September due to heavy rains in the Hill Country terrain and nearby waterways. Check local weather alerts before your visit, especially during the wetter months, to stay safe around the water areas.
Glass artists at Wimberley Glass Works create handcrafted pieces before your eyes, heating and shaping glowing material into complex art objects. This hands-on craft tradition shows how local artisans keep traditional techniques alive and share their skills with visitors.
