Blanco River
FIVE MILE DAM

Hays County Park

< Blanco River, page 1
Take IH35 to San Marcos and exit at Aquarena Springs Drive. Stay to the right and head toward Bobcat Stadium. Just before the stadium, turn right on Post Road. Continue on Post Road for about five miles. You'll wind through a rural neighborhood. When you get to the railroad trestle, go under it and across the Blanco River. Take an immediate left onto Old Stagecoach Road. It isn't well marked. Go about one mile and you'll see the park on your left.

Alternate route: Take IH35 to Yarrington Road just south of Kyle. Follow the frontage road to the 'Y', then take the right on FM 2779. When you come to the railroad trestle, don't go under it but turn right onto Old Stagecoach Road. The park is one mile down on the left. (Note: this is a shorter route from Austin but I got easily lost as the roads are not well marked.)
