When planning a trip to a Texas State Park keep in mind that holidays are popular times to visit parks. Reserving a day pass in advance is highly recommended since some parks will reach their capacity limits, especially for special events. Reserve day passes online or over the phone by calling (512) 389-8900.
Wishing you a Safe and Healthy Holiday
The health of our visitors is of the utmost importance. Social distancing and wearing a mask when inside buildings or when gathered with others is encouraged. Local and statewide limitations and restrictions may apply, these rules may change rapidly and could force an event to cancel or be modified.
Please call the park directly or check social media for updates before departing for your visit.
