We stopped by on a day trip to Bandera. The park is along the river. From what I see it is clean…read moreeven though the water looked questionable. There was plenty of families having a picnic and swimming in the river. Besides the heat it was a really nice and peaceful walk. If I am a local I would go have a daily walk at this park. Right across the street they even have a children playground If you were like me looking for the river dam. When you park facing the river walk to the left it is towards the end

While adventuring today we came Across Bandera City park…read more It's a very nice spot with picnic tables, play grounds for kids, a skate park, and easy access to the river for swimming and fishing . Very well kept. Beautiful shaded areas. I can only imagine how packed it is on weekends! Beautiful job done by the city .

I wanted to specifically go to the dog park here as I heard good things about it. It's basically…read morejust a big opened area that's fenced it. It rained the day before so everything was muddy. There was no one else at the park when I went. Maybe I just came at a bad time, but I didn't really see how it would have been any different if I came another time. It was really hard to find, and when we got to the park, getting to the dog park itself was a trek as well. I honestly won't be coming here again. This place was run down and nothing innovative that you can't see at another park.

Fantastic municipal park!…read more After a second year at this park, I can say that we love this park. This park is adjacent to the "mighty" Guadalupe River, and in particular Kerville's dammed in Guadalupe Lake, where the park's inhabitants can fish, swim, SUP, kayak, and pretty much anything else you can do in a small body of water. Our scouts had a fantastic time, they spent the entire day in the water... and would have spent the night, had we let them. The grounds on the river side are clean, but fully to semi- exposed to the sunlight, which can be brutal in the Texas summers. This side also has cabins, two docks and a recreation space for events. All were being utilized, but everybody was respectful and friendly. We did cross the highway to hike some of the trails on the opposite side of the park. We found various trails of 3-5 miles of length. There were more cabins and camping spots on this side. All was well maintained. The there are four shower/bathrooms at the top of the camp site, a dumpster for collected trash, and marked campsites. There are spigots for drinking water spread amongst the available campsites, but they are not at every one. The Kerrville City Parks facilitators were always patrolling and attentive to our needs. This park is a beautiful city park, and worth considering for your outdoor activities.

He then went in the military to serve but unfortunately lost his life. It is very peaceful to be by yourself or bring a friend. Nice place for a picnic too as there are some tables and trash cans.

Surprising current even with the river fairly low. Pictures will show how high the river can come up but guessing not that high for years. Not much hiking but did have some interesting Swift Chimneys built for bird enthusiasts.

This public park is just a block away from Main Street located in a residential area. As the name…read moresuggests, this is a perfect place to bring your kids. It was first built in 2016, but at this time appears to be going through some renovations. Lots of things for the kids to do here such as a climbing wall, a big slide, climbscapes, playscapes and swings. The entire park is surrounded by a nice 4 foot metal fence complete with sidewalks and a covered picnic table. Lots of well manicured old Live oaks to keep things shady. You also find a porta potty on site along with a dozen parking spaces or choose street parking. Photos included for more information.

I was lucky enough to attend a hike led by a "Certified Master Naturalist" in this natural state…read morearea. Make note, this trail is not open to the public, you need to sign up for one of the pre-scheduled tours. Info can be found on their website. https://tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/honey-creek The tour is free, but you have to pay to get into the Guadalupe State Park or get in free with an annual state parks pass - highly recommended! The tour starts at the historic Rust House. You can explore the entire house, then they share some history about the Rust family and the other German families that settled in the area. The hike was a couple of miles, and it lasted about two hours. The guide was VERY knowledgeable about the flora and fauna and I really learned a lot and gained a lot of appreciation for this area. Not a strenuous hike at all, but they recommend wearing long pants because some of the trails we took were in high grass - not terribly high, just a foot or two. You don't need hiking shoes, just an old pair of tennis shoes will do. Most of the hike is shaded and you get some awesome river views about halfway into the hike - get your phones/cameras ready! It's ok for kids too, but parts of it might be boring for them - I would recommend age 8 and up. Not because it's strenuous, but because there are a lot of stops that a kid might be bored with, and I get that. P.S. I saw my first Golden Cheeked Warbler on this hike, thanks to someone on the tour who pointed it out. EVERY Golden Cheeked Warbler is a native Texan y'all - look it up if you don't believe me!

Honey Creek State Natural Area is not for everyone, me included. Not only do you need a reservation…read morebut tours are only offered on Saturdays and fill up quickly. The natural area is within Guadalupe River State Park so make sure you get a pass here as well. I would have preferred to take this hike myself instead of with 10 others who stopped to ask questions every hundred yards. It is pretty but not part of the park I'd need to visit again.

Our first time taking the boat to Medina Lake and this is where we came to launch it. Hubby…read moreremembered coming here once maybe 40 years ago with his cousin to launch their boat. We had a sticker price shock... $15 Launch Fee $10 additional car parking We weren't going to shop around, we are here and we are going to get on the water NOW! Lol. Well, come to find out, there really isn't much of a choice on this lake so just come prepared. Plus there is a lock box for overnight or early launches. If you are going to be gone on the water for the weekend, the charge is per day. The boat ramp itself and dock are great. The older lady at the counter that helped us both before the launch and afterwards with our burger order was really nice and helpful. Huge indoor patio with huge fans plus a nice outdoor patio surrounded by tropical plants. I could see this being a great place to enjoy a band on Sat nights. Red's does not have gas (although sign says they do) but we were told the marina down the street does. We didn't need it right then but was checking for the future. We made a note to always pre-purchase gas... in Hondo, Castroville, or Lakehills coming from the other direction about 10 miles as there aren't any stations around in the country roads that we traveled on getting there. I would suggest getting their to Red's early as parking is limited. We were there on Sat 31 Mar about 2pm and it was already packed. I can't imagine what it's like in the summer time. I'm sure we'll be back again as soon as we have a free weekend. Happy Boating!

This was a great surprise. We ordered a cheeseburger & fries to share bc we weren't that hungry and…read morewe loved the burger so much that had we not been in a hurry, we would've order another. The cheeseburger was hot, juicy, cheesy & the grilled onions were a perfect addition. The fries are hand cut, homemade fries. You won't get pre-made frozen fries here. This is a large open area restaurant with benches. The decor is pretty cool. Boat motors hang around the outdoor porch. The view is beautiful & the breeze was great.
