RV Rental South Llano River State Park, TX

The South Llano River State Park’s primary attraction is the stretch of river that flows through the heart of the park, drawing visitors from far and wide to its cool waters. With about two miles of river frontage the South Llano River, that is spring-fed, is slow-moving, making it ideal for paddling or floating. Canoeing and kayaking are popular on the river stretch, and if, by chance, you forget to pack in tubes for floating into your RV rental, they can be rented at the park as well.

Interestingly, you don’t need a license for fishing within the boundaries of the state park, and if you don’t happen to be carrying any fishing gear, the park headquarters should be able to help you out with some.

Hiking is another popular activity at the state park, with over 20 miles of hiking trails available, ranging from easy to difficult. And for those who prefer mountain biking, you can expect to see some amazing views from the steep ridges and wooded areas as well.
