This Memorial Day weekend is going to be HOT HOT HOT! Here are some fun spots to beat the heat and stay cool!
1. Tubing
It’s no secret that the Hill Country has the best tubing around. Head to New Braunfels for a float down the beautiful Comal and Guadalupe Rivers. Visit TubeNewBraunfels.com for information bout tube rentals, rules and policies.
2. Swimming Holes
Jacob’s Well
Located in Wimberly, Jacob’s Well is a natural, spring-fed swimming hole. The opening of the well is approximately 12 feet wide, and 35 feet deep. You will need to make reservation on order to swim, so plan in advance! Visit the Hays County website for more information.
Hamilton Pool
Located between Johnson City and Austin, Hamilton Creek spills out over limestone outcroppings to create a 50 foot waterfall as it plunges into the head of a steep box canyon. The waterfall never completely dries up, but in dry times it does slow to a trickle. However, the pool’s water level stays pretty constant, even during periods of drought. During the spring season, water temperatures can drop as low as 50 degrees!
Reservation are required to swim and there is a $15 entry fee on a per car basis, so make sure you plan ahead! Visit the Travis County Parks website for more information. 
3. Lakes
Boerne City Lake
“Boerne City Lake Park provides a wonderful recreation area for swimming, fishing and non-motorized boating. The park has picnic areas with grills next to the lake, a boat ramp and parking lot, courtesy dock, fishing pier, volleyball court, covered pavilion, playground, butterfly garden, bird observation blind, restrooms and a Frisbee golf course. Boerne City Lake is about 189 acres. Check out Hill Country Paddle Sports and Boerne Tarzan Boat for additional fun on the water!” – Visit Boerne
Medina Lake
Located in Bandera and Medina Counties, Medina lake is a popular spot for motorized water sports and fishing. Keep in mind there is no public access to Medina Lake. There are, however, a few privately owned places that will charge a small fee to park and drop a boat in. Visit Texas Parks and Wildlife website for more information about fishing and lake access points.
4. Guadalupe River
With four miles of river frontage, the Guadalupe River takes center stage at the park. Step away from the river to find the more peaceful areas. On the river, you can swim, fish, tube and canoe. While on land, you can camp, hike, ride mountain bikes or horses, picnic, geocache, and bird watch. We loan fishing gear for use in the park.
There is a $7 entrance fee for adults, and children under the age of 12 get in free. Visit the Guadalupe State Park website for more information.
