At Vanderpool
go North on FM 187 to Lost Maples State Natural Area. Besides the
bigtooth maples there’s a forest of sycamores thriving on the waters
of the Sabinal River.
Fall foliage makes this area a must for return visits when the color
peaks in early November. Because of the crowd, it’s best to come during
weekdays.

river and detour to Utopia
