LBJ State Park & Historic Site - Texas Parks & Wildlife [Official]
Lyndon B. Johnson State Park & Historic Site
The Lyndon Baines Johnson State Park and Historic Site is all about history, from the visitor center honoring our country’s thirty-sixth president … to a living-history farm depicting life on the farmstead as it was back in 1918, when President Johnson was a young boy.
Visit the park's web page at:
Exploring Texas Hill Country | RV Road Trip
Texas Hill country is a bucolic, rumpled terrain marked by wooded canyons cut by spring-fed rivers. It's also laced with endless miles of appealing two-lane blacktop—and, best of all, it's quirky. One minute you'll see a vista of bluebonnets and the next a sign advertising Emu Oil, Next Exit or Cowboys for Christ Silent Auction.
The Hill Country begins just north of Austin, continues south to San Antonio, and sweeps west some 200 miles (322 kilometers) before the land begins to flatten out. Follow a route linking state and U.S. secondary highways, which lead to a series of colorful towns fit for dawdling.
These attractions form a loop starting in San Antonio and taking in Bandera, Kerrville, Fredericksburg, Enchanted Rock, Johnson City, and New Braunfels, before returning to San Antonio.
From San Antonio, follow Highway 16 northwest to Bandera, which considers itself the hell-raising Cowboy Capital of the World. Here you can order a chicken-fried steak bigger than your haid and dance to live country music. But nowadays you're apt to see travelers' SUVs parked in front of Arkey Blue's Silver Dollar saloon alongside the usual beat-up pickup trucks. The Frontier Times Museum in Bandera (510 13th St.; tel. 1 830 796 3864; frontiermuseum.org) has a bewildering collection of prehistoric arrowheads, mounted animals, bells, and a shrunken human head no bigger than an orange. Duck into the gift shop, which stocks those must-have rubber tomahawks. Also in Bandera is the Old Spanish Trail Restaurant (305 Main St.; tel. 1 830 796 3836), famous for its home-cooked pot roast, catfish platter, and chicken-fried steak.
Next stop is Kerrville, which you can reach by looping around on Highway 16 or cutting straight to it on 173. Stop for a meal at Billy Gene's Restaurant (1489 Junction Hwy.; tel. 1 830 895 7377; billygenesrestaurant), known for its chicken-fried steak and its views of the Guadalupe River. Then check in at the Inn of the Hills (1001 Junction Hwy.; tel. 1 830 895 5000; innofthehills.com), with such amenities as live country music and an Olympic-size pool. Next door is a family sports center with a 16-lane bowling alley, so pack your finest bowling shirts.
Among the first non-natives to settle the area were German immigrants who'd purchased millions of acres sight unseen. Old-timers still refer to the German Hill Country, where the mother tongue was commonly spoken until the 1970s. One town that clings to its German heritage is Fredericksburg. Besides its more than 300 B&Bs, it has a Main Street lined with galleries, boutiques, bistros, and specialty shops with names like Der Küchen Laden.
Follow the oompah music to the Ausländer Biergarten (323 E. Main St.; tel. 1 830 997 7714) featuring German cuisine and an astounding selection of beers. Order a frosty mug of Paulaner Salvator and feast on kasseler rippchen—smoked pork chops—with hot German potato salad, sauerkraut, and a slice of Black Forest chocolate cake for dessert.
Fredericksburg native son Chester Nimitz served as commander in chief of the Pacific Fleet during World War II. Honoring his memory are the Admiral Nimitz Museum and the National Museum of the Pacific War (340 E. Main St.; tel. 1 830 997 4379; nimitz-museum.org), displaying over a thousand artifacts, including a Japanese midget submarine captured during the Pearl Harbor attack.
Detour 18 miles (29 kilometers) north of Fredericksburg to Enchanted Rock State Natural Area, whose centerpiece is a 425-foot (130-meter)-tall dome-shaped mountain of pink granite about a billion years old. Hike to the top, then overnight in pleasant campgrounds at the base (tel. 1 830 685 3636; tpwd.state.tx.us/spdest/findadest/parks/enchanted_rock).
A few miles away in Johnson City, the Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park Visitor Center (Ave. G and Ladybird Ln.; 1 830 868 7128; nps.gov/lyjo) offers a self-paced stroll past video monitors with footage of the War on Poverty, Vietnam, and other events of Johnson's life. Most surprising is a retirement photo of him with long hair, looking a little like Timothy Leary without the beads.
Cap off your drive with an inner tube trip down the Comal or Guadalupe Rivers, both of which run through New Braunfels, making it a haven for paddlers and floaters. On either stream, the warm sunshine filtering through the oaks and cypresses overhead creates a soothing strobe effect as you glide downstream. Just kick back, shift your mind into neutral, and go with the flow. That's the best way to see the Texas Hill Country.

Top 5 Swimming Holes in Texas State Parks
Top 5 Swimming Holes in Texas State Parks
Sharon and MiLena, the Two Tired Teachers, will give you their top 5 picks for swimming holes in our Texas State Parks.
(This video was shot in September of 2019.)
Sharon's first pick was Cleburne State Park. She chose it because it is a great swimming area for little kids. (Part of the reason for the lake to be so shallow was the lack of rain, but it's still great for small children.)
MiLena's first pick was the pool at Abilene State Park. It is open from about Memorial Day - sometime in August. My guess is the closing date is about the beginning of school. The pool fee is $2 + the park entrance fee for people 13 and older, and $1 + the park entrance fee for younger than 13. Of course, if you are camping there, you've already paid the entrance fee.
Lake Mineral Wells State Park is Sharon's next choice. The beach area is wonderful. Sharon gave the park a shout out for the size of the swimming area and the great swimming area itself.
Balmorhea State Park was MiLena's second choice. Warning, the algae on the rocks getting out is extremely slick. Be careful. It is cold, but it is up to 25' deep.
Lake Ray Roberts has large beach areas for both branches of the park. It is a wonderful swim area.
We also want to remind you that we're doing a series of videos about the Texas State Parks.
A bonus is that the teachers mention some great fishing lakes in Texas State Parks, especially for crappie. Lake Arrowhead State Park in Wichita Falls is one of the best lakes in Texas for crappie. Two other good state parks are Lake Brownwood and Lake Mineral Wells State Parks.

Hill Country State Natural Area, Bandera, TX: Cowboy Country
Bob and I spent the weekend at Hill Country State Natural Area in Bandera, Texas, USA. It was a great place to relax and enjoy the outdoors. I demonstrated my sleeping bag which was modified into a snuggie. See:
Bandera is sometimes called the Cowboy Capital Of The World. In the late 19th century, cowboys would drive cattle from Texas to Kansas railheads. In1866 cattle in Texas were worth only $4 per head, compared to over $40 peer head in the North and East.
Mrs. Louise Merrick donated her land to the state for public equestrian camping and riding in 1976. The ranch was originally a Spanish land grant settled in 1840. Equestrians, hikers and mountain bikers can explore the trails. Primitive and back country camping areas are available to equestrian and non-equestrian campers.
