The two companion parks of Bastrop and Buescher are located on a pine tree island. Approach from any direction and you have the native oaks, pecans and cedar trees. Ranch lands and city surround these suprising parks. Upon entering either park, you are surrounded by tall pine trees in a slightly hilly terrian. These Lost Pines are thought to have had extensive coverage in Texas, and are now protected by the two parks.

The numerous county roads in the area are inviting, but are a tease. A few miles down the pavement, they all become dirt. Most routes start from the Buescher SP HQ. Add the 24 mile round trip if you are starting from Bastrop SP.
