This is a Natural blue Hole and is too lovely to miss while visiting! Jacob's Well is one of the most amazing swimming holes around. It's literally the entrance to an underwater cave from which a powerful spring brings aquifer water to the surface to create Cypress Creek. You must reserve a swim time in advance.
