Garner State Park

The park spans over 1,700 acres of Hill Country terrain, centered around nearly three miles of the Frio River. Visitors navigate limestone bluffs, bald cypress trees, and a network of hiking trails leading to scenic overlooks like Old Baldy. The park features a visitor center, miniature golf, and a historic pavilion that hosts evening jukebox dances during the summer season. Due to high demand, the park frequently fills to capacity and turns cars away on summer weekends.
