During Johnson's administration, the LBJ Ranch was known as the Texas White House because the President spent approximately 20% of his time in office there. Johnson donated the ranch in his will to the public to form the park, with the provision that it "remain a working ranch." You can see his birthplace home, school house, the cemetary where he and his family are buried, the show stables, his prized Hereford cows, and even his downsized "Airforce one-Half" Across the street at the state park you can see the home and building of the Johnson's neighbors, the Sauer--Beckmanns in the living history farm area. There is also a bison herd and longhorns on the property.

I enjoyed visiting Lyndon B. Johnson State Park & Historic Site, although part of the experience…read morewas limited because the Texas White House was closed for renovations during my visit. It was disappointing not to be able to tour one of the site's main attractions, but there was still plenty to see and enjoy. One of the highlights was driving through the grounds and surrounding area. The route was scenic and offered a nice look at the Texas Hill Country. We also saw lots of cows along the way, which added to the charm and made the drive feel like a genuine Texas experience. Even without access to the Texas White House, I found the site worth visiting. The combination of history, open landscapes, and the relaxed driving tour made for an enjoyable stop. I would recommend it, though visitors should check ahead to see whether any areas are closed for renovation.

It's an extremely zen and tranquil space that brought us such harmony on our visit. It's as though you're able to breathe and relax without a care in the world whilst walking this lovely oasis. Everything is meticulous from the koi pond to the raked gravel. The grounds seem to have brought us so much peace and balance as we took it all in. If visiting Fredericksburg, it's a must-see. Bonus: No admission. Free to enter.

Everything is super maintained than most parks I've been before! I usually go with my MIL, my baby girl and our dogs to get them some exercise as well and try to do 1-2 miles each time we are here. Depending on what trails you walk/hike on, theres some with shade and some that you will hit up the blazing sun, but with fall upon it hasn't been horrible! Everyone who hikes here are really respectful with the trails/area which is such a pleasant thing as there's usually not a lot of people who do that now a days. Will of course be returning weekly to get our steps in and vitamin D!

Loved they had a dog park and a playground you can take your kids to. There are places you can even go fishing if you want or just sit by the water to relax. Loved how there were plenty of signs around too talking about the animals and plants common there. Good information about the park too and didn't feel I would get lost either (good flat paths you can take). I barely saw any trash flying around either and could tell they keep this park well kept. I absolutely plan to come back here in the future when I have time. Definitely worth the visit!

Our English Labradors enjoyed the sights as much as we did and our stay was spacious enough to share with them comfortably. Patrick is an amazing host - he is accommodating for excursions at all skill levels and is also happy to share his wealth of knowledge about agriculture and the land that his ranch sits on. We left with a greater understanding and appreciation for what it takes to be a steward to this beautiful place. Patrick's staff is also very friendly and happy to show you around. Aaron and Nathan both helped to show us a great time. Our weekend flew by - filled with hunting and horseback adventures. There are so many other activities that I would love to partake in on our next visit as well as a new hobby that I would love to explore deeper! We can't wait to return!

Came here for my birthday…read moreand will note that trophy hunts can be expensive but wanted a trophy whitetail and elk experience and left extremely satisfied. Had the whole lodge to ourselves and Sloane and Nancy served up absolutely delicious gourmet meals. Chance and Dylan were extremely patient, helpful and transparent with what they had to offer in terms of hunting and catered the entire experience to what I wanted. They are more known for their trophy elk and other exotics and although I did a "safari style" hunt which allowed me to see all aspects of the ranch and other exotics, they certainly offer hunting out of stands or other traditional methods but would definitely advise using their hunting rifles since they already come silenced, serviced and sighted in. I went with their taxidermist of choice who was recommended but little disappointed that they have an 18 month waiting list and would consider shopping around for other potential taxidermists as the only one downside.

The walk includes a long and interesting introduction to the Park, along with pointing out special habitats and plants native to the area. The place was given to Greenspace in 2010 and trails were created in 2014. Since they are still trying to preserve the area, only a small group is allowed in at once. There's also several volunteer opportunities! The area is heavily shaded with cedar and juniper with a cool look out to a pond where migrating birds often can be seen (depending on the season and your luck). I'm sure this place will be teaming with people very soon -- in the next year or so? There is also a talk given by a Master bee specialist that is super neat. You can try some of the raw honey he harvests both in the reserve and at his home.
