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.

Garner State 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,
