Guadalupe River State Park

For assistance with accessibility on any TPWD documents, please contact accessibility@tpwd.state.tx.us

Guadalupe River

In this Hill Country setting, visitors enjoy the spring-fed Guadalupe River above Canyon Dam. It is one of the most scenic stretches of river in Texas, with high limestone bluffs, giant bald cypress, pecan, oak, elm, and a wide variety of shrubs lining the river. On a winding transit of the park, the river courses over natural rapids and is a favorite destination for swimming, fishing, hiking and picnicking. The park also provides an excellent put-in and take-out spot for float trips. Due to the potential for flash flooding, campsites are located on the highlands above the river.

Honey Creek State Natural Area

This protected natural area is only accessible by scheduled guided walks on Saturdays, or at other times by special arrangements. At Honey Creek, majestic sycamores and bald cypress trees laced with Spanish moss are abundant, and Columbine and maidenhair ferns twine among the rocks. Access to Honey Creek SNA is through Guadalupe River State Park.
