Blanco State Park is 104.6 acres, along the Blanco River, in Blanco County. The land was deeded by private owners in 1933 before the park was opened in 1934.

The park area was used as a campsite by early explorers and settlers. A spring in the park made the location ideal when the river was dry. Original developments were made by the Civilian Conservation Corps.

Visitor Comments, Memories and Reviews

August 1 Texas Hill Country At Its Best

A nice little Texas park. The place was clean and the park rangers were helpful. Call ahead to make sure there is water flowing. Texas does get hit by drougths from time to time, which affects all water parks.

The park is located on the south side of Blanco, 40 miles north of San Antonio on US Highway 281; turn on Park Road 23 or 48 miles west of Austin on US Highway 290 to US Highway 281, then south on Park Road 23. The park is only 4 blocks south of the town square.
