Cycle The Parks, Garner SP

Home Parks Maps Bios Stories Links

Garner SP is very close to nothing (or between Leakey and Uvalde). It is on the beautiful Frio river and one of the routes goes through it. The Park gets incrediably busy in the summer, but alternate camping can be found along CR350 to the west of the park. Call ahead !! Garner is south of Lost Maples SNA. Water is very limited, get it every chance you can. There are a few low water crossings of the Frio, do NOT try and ride them. Walking in bare feet is comfortable, and very slippery. The 27 and 50 mile routes are about as flat as a hill country ride can be. The 52 mile route is hard.
