ATTRACTIONS School classes and other large groups of 15 or more are encouraged to make reservations for one-hour farm tours by phoning 830-644-2252. Nature trails Elsewhere in the park, a winding nature trail leads walkers to a largerthan-life bronze statue of the former president overlooking the Pedernales River. It also trails near a wildlife enclosure housing buffalo and other areas with the members of the Official Texas State Longhorn Herd. Since May of 2014, the park has become home to part of the Official Texas State Longhorn Herd. Another trail approximately a mile long is handicapped accessible and suitable for wheelchairs, bicycles and strollers. It departs the Visitor Center and travels through fields of wildflowers and past the Texas Longhorns’ pen to the Danz cabins before looping back. Every trail in the park is linked with directional signs and markers giving a brief description of highlights along the path. There’s more Numerous shaded pic-
nic and rest areas (some with restroom facilities) are available at the state park. From early June throughout the summer, a large pool facility — complete with children’s wading pool and a covered pavilion — is manned by certified lifeguards. Nearby are two lighted tennis courts. Available by reservation is the park’s dining hall and group picnic area, located on the banks of the Pedernales River, as well as a separate baseball diamond facility. Fishing is allowed without a license from the banks of state park lands. However, those who go into the waterways must have a fishing license.
