A state natural area in northwest Bexar County with more than 40 miles of trails, camping, ranger programs and guided hikes, geocaching, picnicking and wildlife watching. Kids can play at the playscape and on the Discovery Trail. Protected Habitat Area trails open September through February; other trails year-round. The area often reaches capacity, so day-pass reservations are recommended.
