With spring upon us, a lot of Texans will take to the outdoors and there is plenty to do at Texas State Parks for anyone looking for their next outdoor adventure.
Park staff have helpful tips about how to make the most of your state park visit ”Spring is a special time to get outside, with warmer temperatures and blooming wildflowers — parks are perfect places to experience both,” said Tara Humphreys, director of interpretation for Texas State Parks. “As we celebrate our 100-year anniversary this year, we welcome and encourage every Texan to ‘take a walk on the wild side’ and visit a Texas State Park.”
Here are some tips from TPWD staff to make your Spring Break visit to a Texas State Park one for the books: Reserve Passes Online: Day passes and overnight camping reservations can be booked in advance at any Texas State Park though the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) website. Through the online portal, you can narrow down your search by city, by activity and even by site. If you want to bike, hike or fish, you can see which parks have day passes available (up to 30 days in advance). For overnight camping, you can also search the “Camping This Weekend” tab and see which parks have sites open for the upcoming Friday and Saturday.
