AUSTIN – The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) is hosting a second round of public meetings in Llano and San Antonio to gather feedback on the Public Use Plan for the Enchanted Rock State Natural Area Expansion. This phase builds on community engagement conducted in January and February of this year and will share how that input has helped shape planning directions for the expansion area.

Attendees will have the opportunity to review planning directions related to day use recreation, trail types, visitor access, and the prioritization of park features, as part of a broader effort to protect sensitive landscapes, ease visitor pressures, and thoughtfully broaden access to the park’s geological, ecological, and cultural resources. The Public Use Plan will guide future decisions related to access, trail design, and long-term resource protection.

Maps showing proposed facilities and potential recreation areas and trail connections will be available at the meetings, along with opportunities to ask questions and provide additional input.

Anyone unable to attend can share feedback online through a questionnaire that will launch on June 17. The questionnaire will remain open for 30 days, is mobile-friendly, and will be available in both English and Spanish. More information is available, and the survey will be located on the Enchanted Rock State Natural Area project webpage on the TPWD website.
