Discover Wimberley -
Activities
Wimberley is blessed with a location on the banks of
Cypress Creek and the Blanco River surrounded by the Texas Hill Country. As a
result, there are great outdoor activities nearby.
Shopping
Wimberley is full of unique shops that
offer traditional and not-so-traditional art and wares. Although the primary
shopping areas are clustered around the "Square" and "Olde Towne Plaza", there
are also shops sprinkled throughout other areas. The first Saturday of each
month, April through December, draws visitors from around the
state.
Outdoor Theatre
Many rural towns
had outdoor theatres years ago. Wimberley still has one. The
Corral Theatre features first run movies every
Friday and Saturday night from Memorial Day through Labor Day. You can even
bring your own chair. Call 847-2513 for shows and times.
Walking through Wimberley
For those who just like to
walk and see the sites, Wimberley is full of beautiful views and rich
. A pause at the
bridge over Cypress Creek or, for the more vigorous, a walk up the steps to the
top of Old Baldy (see ) are certainly worth the trip
Horse Back Riding
Many of the resort/ranch
facilities in the Lodging listings offer horse
back riding. Look under Animals in the Business
listings for organized trail rides.
Camping -
Swimming - Hiking
Many of the resorts and camps around town have
Blanco River access, pools and hiking trails. See Lodging on the menus for contact information. For more
