  • Discover the Amazing Devils River!
    In southwest Texas, where there are hardly any big cities or lots of people, you'll find one of the most beautiful and clean rivers - the Devils River! Imagine clear, spring-fed water flowing past rocky ridges, picturesque canyons, and bushy banks. It might take a bit of driving, around 22 miles on country roads, to get to the Devils River parks headquarters, but trust us, it's totally worth it!
    Once you're there, you can hike and explore to see one of the most breathtaking and crystal clear waters in Texas. This park is perfect for adventures and you can go swimming, paddling, and fishing at the Devils River. Even though it's not the easiest place to reach, the effort is super worth it!
    Come with us as we take a look at The Devils River State Natural Area in Del Rio, Texas. It's going to be a fantastic journey!

    Head up to Balmorhea (BAL muh RAY) for the State Park's pool there... fantastic. It's actually 'in' Toyahvale (a "suburb" of Balmorhea - or is it the other way around? ha ha). There's always the Frio River, running thru Leakey, Texas ("LAKEy" not LEEKY) at Garner State Park, world headquarters of rock-skippers). I can recommend the whole Pecos River 'valley' especially at the end of July, all of Aug and early Sept because that's harvest season for corn AND best yet - CANTALOPE.
