History: Guadalupe River State
Park is located along the boundary of Comal and Kendall Counties. It was
acquired by deed from private owners in 1974 and was opened to the public in
1983. The park is bisected by the clear-flowing waters of the Guadalupe River.
The park is comprised of a 1938.7-acre segment of the Texas Hill Country noted
for its ruggedness and scenic beauty.
Activities: The park has 4 miles
of river frontage and is located in the middle of a 9-mile stretch of the
Guadalupe River. Park visitors may enjoy a variety of outdoor activities
including canoeing, fishing, swimming, tubing, picnicking, hiking, and camping.
The park recently opened a 5.3 miles equestrian trail that is also open to
mountain biking. No equestrian camping is available at the park. Opportunities
also exist for less vigorous but more serene pursuits, such as bird watching and
nature study. Tours: There is a two-hour guided interpretive
tour of the adjacent Honey Creek State Natural Area. The tour emphasizing
history, geology, flora, and fauna is given Saturday at 9:00 a.m.; call park to
confirm.
