Garner State Park

Lose yourself in the awe-inspiring beauty of the Texas Hill Country. Enjoy spectacular views and breathtaking scenery along many miles of trails.

Experience a different side of Garner State Park as you get a bird’s-eye view

of the Frio River and stunning geological features.

STAYING SAFEKNOW YOUR LIMITS. Prepare for sun and heat. Wear sunscreen, insect repellent and appropriate clothing/hiking shoes.

DRINK PLENTY OF WATER. Your body quickly loses fluids when you’re on the trail.

Bring a quart of water per hour of activity.

TELL OTHERS WHERE YOU’LL BE. If possible, avoid exploring alone.

Tell someone where you are going and when you plan to return.

WEAR A HELMET. When biking, check with park HQ to match the

ride to your skill level. Wear a helmet to protect yourself in case of a crash.

POTENTIALLY HARMFUL PLANTS AND ANIMALS LIVE HERE. You’ll see them more easily if you stay on trails.

YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CONNECT. It’s a good idea to take along a cell phone and GPS unit, but don’t count on them.

TRAIL ETIQUETTETrash your trash. Keep the park natural. Pack out all of your trash and Leave No Trace.

Leave feeding to nature. Feeding wild animals will make them sick and more likely to cause harm to people.

Take only memories and pictures. Please don’t disturb or remove any of the park’s plants, animals or artifacts.

Keep pets on leashes for their safety, and to protect wildlife.

Campfires are permitted only in designated rings and not in the primitive camping area due to potential for ground scarring and wildfires.
