Take a hike, go fishing, do a little bird watching among other wildlife, go camping and enjoy the scenery.
Garner State Park
Garner State Park is one of the best places to camp in the Texas Hill Country. The scenic park is nestled in Uvalde County located in the southern corner of the Hill Country. Texans love the park for its easy access to the Frio River and gorgeous scenery.
Enchanted Rock
Enchanted Rock is a monolithic dome of pink rock that rises up from its sparse surroundings in the Hill Country. The massive pink granite rock has drawn people to it for thousands of years. While it's not much of a mystery to Central Texans, Enchanted Rock is off the radar of most tourists who visit Austin and San Antonio. It's also an excellent place to try rock climbing.
Enchanted Rock is located in the Llano Uplift approximately 17 miles north of Fredericksburg, Texas and 24 miles south of Llano, Texas, United State
Luckenbach, Texas
Head to Luckenbach to get an authentic taste of Hill Country culture. To get to there, drive southwest from the Texas wine capital of Fredericksburg on Hwy. 290 and take a right on FM 1326.
This famous tiny town only has two buildings: a dancehall and a post office. Take two steps to the right or left and you’ll see the bar in the rear and a stage out back for live music where locals and top Texas country artists play under live oak cover.
