LBJ State Park & Historic Site
Lyndon B. Johnson State Park & Historic Site offers a look into the land and people that shaped the 36th president. The park features 1.2 miles of easy walking trails that wind past pastures of American bison and Texas longhorns. At the Visitor Center, you can view memorabilia from Johnson's presidency and pick up a free permit to drive through the adjacent LBJ Ranch, located just across the Pedernales River.
