If you live in Texas, you know that the heat is the best indicator that summer is officially upon us. If you’re not a resident, don’t let the weather deter you! We may be hitting high temperatures here in the Lonestar state but we also have beautiful bodies of water and fantastic parks to cool down with. If you’re planning a vacation to the Texas Hill Country, here are a few places you’ll want to visit to stay cool and take in some of the best that the Hill Country has to offer.
If you’re visiting New Braunfels…
New Braunfels has become one of the fastest-growing cities in the nation and there’s a good reason why: it’s a great place for kids and adults alike! There’s never a dull moment in New Braunfels, from the day- and -nightlife of Downtown New Braunfels to Schlitterbahn, the nation’s best water park. Schlitterbahn brings tourists from all over and is definitely a must when visiting the area. Then, there is the Comal River and Guadalupe River. If tubing, kayaking, rafting, or fishing are more up your alley, these rivers are for you! At Vacay Hill Country, we have several New Braunfels vacation rentals that are located right on or near the rivers!
If you’re visiting Canyon Lake…
Known for its beautiful, clear blue body of water, Canyon Lake is home to some of the best swimming spots in Texas. One of several parks in the area, Canyon Park offers a swimming beach at its entrance as well as features camping sites, a marina, a boat ramp, and a restaurant. Then there’s Jacob’s Creek Park which features a large swimming beach and an additional swimming spot at the end of Old Hancock Rd. More fantastic swimming spots can be found at Comal Park, Cranes Mill Park, and Overlook Park. At Vacay Hill Country, we have gorgeous Canyon Lake vacation rentals that are located right on the lake!
If you’re visiting Wimberley…
Wimberley may be small but it’s filled with outdoor activities and gorgeous scenery. The rustic charm of this beautiful town has made it a very popular tourist attraction, and while it may get hot in the summer, there are plenty of places to stay cool in Wimberley. First, there’s the Blue Hole, one of Texas’ top swimming holes. Blue Hole is the perfect spot for swimming and camping and is well on its way to becoming an official regional park. Then there are the crystal clear waters of the San Marcos River. The water comes from the Aquarena Spring, keeping it a steady 72 degrees – doesn’t that sound like a dream?! If you’re visiting Wimberley, be sure to also check out the Cypress Halls swimming hole where you’ll also find a cafe and an 18-hole golf course! At Vacay Hill Country, we have plenty of Wimberley vacation rentals that are located near some of the best swimming spots in the area.
It’s going to be a hot summer, so be sure to include a visit to some of Texas’ best swimming spots in your schedule!
