The gorge is super cool! During one week in the summer of 2002, more than 34 inches of rain fell in the upper watershed of the Guadalupe River, setting off a torrent of floodwater. The historic flood sliced open the ground below the spillway, creating a gigantic 64-acre Gorge and exposing ancient, cretaceous limestone, fossils and even dinosaur footprints 110 million years old. Visitors can take a 2-mile hike along the north rim of the gorge for $5/person. Tours are also available for $15-$20. Distance: 15 minutes, 10 miles

Gorgeous lakeside park with a boat ramp, boat rental and swimming area. Distance: 10 minutes, 2.7 miles Note: The county limits the number of entrants in the park at any given time, and the park tends to fill up early on the weekends. Definitely plan to go early.

Guadalupe River Tubing

The Guadalupe River, only 15-20 mins up FM 2673 from here, is a local favorite for tubing in the summer. Cool off with a nice float down the Guadalupe!

Startz is our go-to for breakfast around here. It’s a no-frills, family-run diner with a little bit of everything on the menu. Chase’s favorite is the big breakfast, and Sarah loves their breakfast tacos. **Note: Cash only (though there is an ATM in their parking lot)
