Guadalupe River State Park

With four miles of riverfrontage, the Guadalupe River takes center stage at the park. Step away from the river to find the more peaceful areas.

On the river, you can swim, fish, tube, and canoe. While on land, you can camp, hike, ride mountain bikes or horses, picnic, geocache, and bird watching. We loan fishing gear for use in the park.

Before your visit, read through our Swimming Safety Tips.

Camp at one of 85 water and electric campsites or nine walk-in tent sites.

Hit the trail! Explore 13 miles of hike and bike trails. Trails range from the 2.86-mile Painted Bunting Trail to the .26-mile Barred Owl Trail, which leads you to a scenic overlook of the river. The Bauer Unit offers less-traveled trails. Some park trails are open to horseback riders. Note: We do not offer equestrian camping.
