Getting there
-
FM
337 - From Vanderpool
west to Leakey.
From here head south on Hwy 83 through the Frio River Canyon to Garner
State Park. |
Garner State
Park is one of the most photographed parks in the state. During the
summer its visitors make it the largest "town" in the county.
Besides the tree lined river, there’s a mountain view that is truly
memorable. It’s a park you won’t confuse with any other.
After visiting Garner State Park head south on Hwy 83 towards Concan.
RR1120 offers several picturesque points of entry. Concan has one
of the most inviting accesses but the parking is limited, so try to
arrive early. Stone steps carved by nature on riverbanks, white pebbles
and clear water makes the Frio River very enticing. |

Park Forum:
My family and I
were transfered away from Home Texas 15 years ago and we were blessed
to be able to return this year. Our first camping trip was this Thanksgiving
at Garner State Park. As I woke on Thanksgiving Day I saw the mist
moving quickly across the river in front of our campsite. The view
was so beautiful, that I felt the true beauty of God's hand. Attached
is a picture [above] of the river that morning. Glad to be back home
in Texas. - Royce L. Milam, January 06, 2005 |
