Tours and Amenities

GUIDED MORNING TOURS: Free to the public, offered Saturdays, October – April

When available, guided tours are led by park staff and/or dedicated volunteers. The guides will speak in-depth about the history of Jacob’s Well and the aquifer system that sustains it as well as the local wildlife and vegetation found here.

FREE guided morning tours are available on Saturday mornings October thru April at 10 a.m. Tours are not available during summer months. Guided morning tours last approximately one (1) hour and will lead you on various compacted granite and natural surface trails. While we do not consider our tours to be strenuous, you will travel up and down several inclines and walk on rock ledges. Please be aware of your own personal limitations.
