Swimming suspended at Blue Hole due to bacteria

"We are unable to predict if Blue Hole will open again for the 2022 season," the City of Wimberley said.

WIMBERLEY, Texas — Swimming at Blue Hole Regional Park in Wimberley will be closed until at least Aug. 15 due to bacteria concerns, the City of Wimberley said on Monday.

If bacteria and visibility conditions remained the same, swimming will be suspended for another two weeks.

“We are unable to predict if Blue Hole will open again for the 2022 season,” the City said. “We will continue to monitor these conditions and update via email for those with swimming reservations as well as on our social media pages.”

Blue Hole staff will issue full refunds for all swimming reservations during the two-week period. Anyone who privately reserved the swimming area during this time will also receive a full refund.

The City said those refunds will be automatic and will take five to 10 business days to process.
