The picturesque Frio River runs through this beautiful 1,420-acre park and the stream provides many opportunities for various types of water recreation. The park also has many trails, and a variety of wildlife inhabit this area. The bird species found at the park at various times of the year include the Golden-Cheeked Warbler. Come visit the stone cliffs and giant cypress trees and see why this is one of the most popular parks in Texas. If you are up to it, you can take the trek up to Old Baldy for a stunning view of the river below, but be careful because if you slip up there you could fall to a certain death below. The small dam in the park creates a grand swimming and floating area and the park often is included on top ten lists for swimming holes. The best place to swim, however, is downstream from the dam. For kayak trips, the dam in the park is about 4.5 miles downstream from the 1120 crossing and about 5 miles from the nearest River Road/CR 348 crossing. If you want to dink around in flat water you could paddle above the dam in the park. Also, if you walk downstream of the dam for about 100 yards there will be a rope swing extending over the river. Best to contact the park to obtain river flow and put in and take out information before making the drive becuase the water levels can be low at times. Kayaks and tubes also are available for rent and don’t forget about the big weekend dances at the pavilion. Contact Happy Hollow to get additional ideas for kayak trips. Pets on a leash are OK. Cabins and screened shelters are available for your comfort. Check to see if any trout have been stocked in the winter.
