The shimmering waters and spectacular trees make Garner State Park one of the most beloved places in Texas. Though many people know about the blissful hiking trails and numerous amenities available, few realize there’s an astonishing scenic overlook just waiting to be discovered. Journey to Old Baldy Summit and gaze at the miles of Texas scenery surrounding you.

Garner State Park is home to the shimmering Frio River. It's a popular place to paddle and float, but it's even more spectacular from above.
