This is a great benefit available to eligible veterans and their families!

Are you participating in our Veterans' Mental Health Awareness Ruck & Hike on September 26? If you are active duty, a veteran, or a Gold Star family member, you qualify for a Parklands Passport which will give you free entry to all Texas State Parks. Obtaining this in advance will speed your entry to Government Canyon on Sept. 26, but it must be done in person. Stop by sometime soon and we'll set you up...whether or not you are coming on Sept. 26!
