We went to Blanco State Park knowing it was a small park. We didn't expect much from the trails since they weren't very long and we didn't think we'd be getting in the water because the day was pretty chilly.

It was by far an unexpected highlight and we ended up staying much longer than we intended. Great little getaway park!…

Park is adjacent to calm Blanco River and has tiny dam (Falls Dam) where kids can play in water. It has campsites and screened shelters. Autumn colors are excellent.

If you like fishing or floating in the water, you might enjoy it more than we did. There is only one long Hiking trail— it is in the shade and you feel like in the wilderness.

Blanco State Park was a very pleasant surprise. It was beautiful and well maintained. It was relaxing and the water delightful. When in area it is clearly worth a stop.
