| State Park Overview: |
| Blanco State Park is 104.6 acres, along the Blanco River, in Blanco County. The land was deeded by private owners in 1933 before the park was opened in 1934.
The park area was used as a campsite by early explorers and settlers. A spring in the park made the location ideal when the river was dry. Original developments were made by the Civilian Conservation Corps. |
| Nature of the Area: |
| Hilly terrain consists of cedar, pecan, and other trees.Wildlife Observation and Photography: nutria, mallard duck, raccoon, armadillo, and squirrel. Fish include winter rainbow trout, perch, catfish, and bass. |

Texas Hill Country At Its Best
A nice little Texas park. The place was clean and the park rangers were helpful. Call ahead to make sure there is water flowing. Texas does get hit by drougths from time to time, which affects all water parks.
