Enjoy!

After torrential rain in July caused flooding in the Frio River, waters have receded just in time to offer clear, cool, and well-flowing river conditions for Labor Day visitors.

Labor Day Weekend is here!
Unfortunately, all day passes for Saturday and Sunday are sold out. However, we do still have evening access passes available for guests who want to come into the park for the dance on both nights.
A quick reminder: day access passes can be reserved and purchased up to 30 days in advance.
If you have a reservation for this weekend but are no longer able to attend, please cancel your reservation so we can open that spot for another visitor.

Why would anyone want to come to Garner and listen to the Frio and look up at millions of stars. When life seems overwhelming, it is nice to have a therapy session where no words are said aloud -Brett
