The waterfall at Blanco State Park, another of the best Texas State Parks in Hill Country to visit this spring

The Best Texas State Parks in Hill Country

When the weather really heats up this spring and summer, Texas State Parks in Hill Country are perfect places to cool off, as many of them feature great rivers for floating and playing in. However, when the weather is milder, these Texas State Parks offer hours of recreation and plenty of natural beauty.

This spring, we recommend you find the time to get out and explore the fantastic natural beauty of Texas Hill Country, starting, of course, at these Texas State Parks. We've listed five of the most popular Texas State Parks within easy reach of our Hill Country Bed and Breakfast.

  1. Pedernales Falls State Park, situated around the Pedernales River, offers some of the most unique and beautiful scenery among Texas State Parks in the area. On warm days, the Pedernales River is a great way to cool off, but otherwise, there are plenty of hiking trails through the surrounding forests and ridges.
  2. Another of our favorite Texas State Parks in Hill Country is Blanco State Park. The Blanco River is the main feature of this park and offers an excellent place for a cooling dip or a leisurely paddle. There are also several nature trails and wildlife viewing areas here.
  3. One of the most popular places to go river tubing is at Guadalupe River State Park, but this Texas State Park really is more than just a great place to swim. There's also great hiking and mountain biking at the park. We also recommend a visit to the Honey Creek Area, a great place to learn more about this park's history, geology, flora, and fauna.
  4. When it comes to beautiful Texas State Parks, it's hard to beat McKinney Falls State Park in Austin. The park sits at the confluence of Onion Creek and Williamson Creek, where the waters flow dramatically over limestone ledges and splashing into pools below. Aside from swimming and fishing, this park is excellent for hiking and biking.
  5. Finally, for a unique experience at Texas State Parks, head to the Lyndon B Johnson State Park & Historic Site. It also sits on the Pedernales River and is a great place to learn more about President Lyndon B. Johnson, who was born and raised in Texas Hill Country. Aside from learning more about this native Texas son, visitors will also have the chance to experience life on a Texas-German farm and see American bison and Texas longhorns up close and personal.

If you're willing to travel even further, consider visiting one of these thirteen sensational Texas State Parks, many of which are just around two hours from our Inn.
