News! The Garner Visitor Center will hopefully be getting a makeover by the end of 2024. We had planners visit back in June of 2023. All for not as the contractor closed their business. Ideas and plans are needed to update the interior of the structure built back in the early seventies. This includes taking down the old paneling and lighting, overhauling air conditioning and some electrical, closing in a window or two making more wall spaces for new exhibits inside. New TWPD exhibits will present the plants and animals of the area, rivers and geology of this part of the hill country, the skies and heavens around us, the history of the CCC building the park, family traditions, and the dance culture that has existed at Garner. The old interpreter's office could become a video display room and be connected to the nature garden, becoming a pathway for inviting visitors through the center. The gift selection area will be concentrated on making room for the inviting exhibits. The counter space will be enlarged to accommodate a workspace enabling our park interpreter to engage better with everyone.
This is the way to start your New Year's off the right way. The weather was beautiful, and the water felt warm. Join us next year!
Park families joined the festivities of the Leakey July Jubilee and participated in the parade. It was a fun time. Join us next year!
The weekend before Memorial Day was one to dance to many of the old 60's Garner Whip songs. Thank you to the park concessionaire, Brett, for supplying the music!
Join us for our next board meeting, Wednesday, May 8th, at 5pm, at the Shady Meadow Group Day Shelter.
Check with the Texas Parks and Wildlife website for special visitor handling and restrictions on the day of the eclipse.
Look for the Easter Bunny delivering candies through the park. Then join him at the Visitors Center for pictures and children's coloring activities.
Join us in 2024 Tuesday and Thursday nights, to ride the Frio Canyon Trail in a hay wagon pulled by a tractor. We will tell you about the history, nature, and culture of Garner State Park.
Volunteers will be needed to coordinate, drive, and narrate these hayrides. Please help the tradition continue and provide memories for those that visit Garner State Park.
Let us hear from you! Contact Dirk Foshee (see link below for more information).
We love our Garner guests, so feel free to visit during normal business hours.

For those who float the river all day and dance all night...
For those who hike the trails...
For those who appreciate outdoor beauty and wildlife...
For those who return year after year...
For thousands of years, people have enjoyed the protection of the hills, the lushness of the land, the abundance of the animals, and the coolness of the Frio River... the same reasons we love it today.
