Garner State Park
Garner State Park is located on the Frio River in northern Uvalde County. It is a large State Park with many interesting things to do. Among them are hiking,picnicking, boating, fishing, swimming in the Frio River, miniature golf, paddle boat rentals, and of course bike riding. Be sure to take the tour of the surrounding hills. It is a guided tour and the guides that led our group were retired and told us that they met at the park when they were teenagers. Now they are clearing the trail that was once used for the tours.
While driving around the park in the early mornings or late afternoons be on the lookout for Deer and other animals. They are in abundance and so pretty in natural surroundings.
Bring your inner tubes or floats and enjoy the Frio River. It is so neat to sit or lay back and float down the river (if there is enough water). The park has a swimming hole and oncession stand that is very popular.
If you like horse back riding there is a place not to far from the park where you can take a horse back ride. Sorry but this is one of those with a guide.
