Friends on the River
Our park includes two miles on the South Llano River, located in the Texas Hill Country near Junction, Texas. The river's cool, clear water's attract visitors who enjoy swimming, tubing, kayaking, fishing, and wildlife viewing.
Friends with the birds
Bird watching is an immensely popular attraction at the park. The 23.7 miles of hiking trails allow guest to explore the river banks, woodlands, and oxbow lake. Bird Blinds and native areas make for prime bird watching opportunities. The endangered golden-cheeked warblers nest in the backcountry each spring and summer.
Friends of the Night Sky
One of the vanishing resources that you can still find at the South Llano River State Park is a truly dark nighttime sky. Thousands of stars and a clear view of the Milky Way await on a clear night. The park is a Dark Sky International
recognized dark sky site and has a Bortle rating of 3.
