Texas State Parks

There's nothing quite like kicking off the new year with a refreshing hike, surrounded by loved ones and the Texas outdoors. It just feels right.

Imagine a day where the trees are your backdrop and these trails are your guide, November 2nd brings free access to all of Texas's stunning state parks.

With the lake calling your name, it’s easy to forget safety. This summer, let’s dive into some eye-opening stats that could save a life.

Just over an hour from Killeen and Temple lies Old Baldy Park in Wimberley, home to the famous "Stairway to Heaven." Conquer 218 limestone steps for breathtaking 360-degree views of the Texas Hill Country – a perfect short day trip!

As we gear up for summer fun, let’s talk about what it really means to be safe on the water this boating season.

As the sun warms up, Texans are trading their land legs for boat decks. The water is calling, and it's not just for fishing anymore.

From dinosaur footprints to shaded trails, Texas parks offer diverse activities for all ages. Plan wisely to beat the summer heat and enjoy nature!

Texas State Parks are getting ready for all the summer vacationers and, while some are understaffed, they expect a successful season. One in particular may meet visitors with an unpleasant surprise though.

Get ready for hiking and fishing. Texas Parks and Wildlife is transforming over 3,000 acres into a vibrant state park in Burnet and Lampasas Counties.

I, for one, am encouraged by this move. As more and more people move to Texas, some natives have expressed concern that expansion, although needed, would begin to encroach on the natural beauty of Central Texas. Since I was born in that area, this means quite a bit.
