Lockhart State Park
Small by state park standards, Lockhart still manages to provide a few enjoyable miles of trails picking their way around the park's signature golf course. Ants might not enjoy the trail as much as humans.

4-C Hiking Trail
Not difficult; not crowded; very enjoyable - there is a great little BBQ place in Ratcliff. Easy three days/two nights; possible two days; one night (if you are young and foolish).

Pedernales Falls - 4-Mile Loop
Wade across a creek to hike this trail that most visitors to Pedernales Falls never bother with.

Guadalupe River State Park
Many people overlook the trail in this park and hang out at the river. That's just fine with us.

The Lone Star Hiking Trail: The Official Guide to the Longest Wilderness Footpath in Texas

List Price: $17.95 Our price: $11.75
One of the hidden jewels of Texas, the Lone Star Hiking Trail is the only long-distance National Recreation Trail in the state. At 128 miles (including loop trails), it is also the state's longest continuously marked and maintained footpath. Located in the famed Big Thicket area in east Texas, the trail is well-suited for both short and long hikes (of up to 10 days), appealing to dayhikers, overnight backpackers and long-distance hikers. The Lsht lies between the major metro centers of Houston-Galveston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, and San Antonio--home to more than 8 million people just a 2-hour drive from the trail. The author, a Texas native, is an experienced long-distance hiker who has thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail, the Pacific Crest Trail, and many other nationally recognized long-distance trails throughout the U.S. This is the first guidebook to the trail and is officially endorsed and promoted by the Lone Star Hiking Trail Club.
