Taking a Dip at the Jacob’s Well Spring
According to a Reddit post, this photo was taken at the Jacob’s Well Natural Area spring in Austin. The perennial spring covers a 12-foot diameter, and the descent is about 30 feet. It’s a popular spot for swimmers as well as open-water divers. There were fatalities reported between 1964 to 1984, mainly because of inexperience and lack of proper diving equipment.
Covering about 81 acres, the Jacob’s Well Natural Area offers guided tours to the public. It involves traveling up and down a series of inclines and walking on rock ledges. Perhaps the payoff is taking a similar Insta-worthy photo at the edge of the spring.
