While small, this state park has a nice amount of river front along the Blanco river. The river is dammed creating some really nice sections of water to kayak on. The sites are nice with covered picnic tables and some have sewer hookups. You can walk into Blanco's downtown square without crossing the highway if you cross the river from the campsites and walk towards the highway bridge. You'll find a back entrance into the little park on the square! If you're into road cycling, there is nice riding out of Blanco.

This is a great little park right in the town of Blanco. Sitting right on the river it gives you the feel of being in the country. Nice for swimming, kayaking, and fishing. There is one loop that has FHU’s
