    Natural Attractions
  • Guadalupe River - Having the Guadalupe River bisect your town is a great tourist draw. ... more
  • Kerrville-Schreiner State Park
    Just south of downtown Kerrville on Hwy 16 across the bridge you’ll see the sign for 173. Go left on 173 and two and a half miles later you’ll come to the park entrance on your left.

    This 517-acre park offers canoe and tube rentals in the Guadalupe River. During the week it’s VERY tranquil and on weekends it’s still an improvement over the crowds found on the river back in Kerrville.

    Reservations recommended for overnight stay.
    Annual bicycling event every Easter Weekend. 830-257-5392.
  • Louise Hays Park is right in the middle of town, and a footbridge crosses the river to the appropriately named Tranquility Island. ... more
  • Riverside Nature Center -
    150 Francisco Lemos St. 830-257-4837
