Absolutely wonderful trail ride thru acres of secluded-enough Texas hill country. Mr. Willie is a genuine TX horseman who was a pleasure to meet and talk with; FOR SURE will make this a habit.

We had not been here before and it happened to be part of a community event we took part in and so glad it was. What a beautiful place off the beaten path from downtown Boerne. It is directly on Main St. several blocks from the main square. There was plenty of parking and although the library was closed the day we visited the area, we were still able to walk around the lovely grounds and sit and relax in the shade at a picnic table. The design of the property is the nicest library grounds we have visited. There are many shaded areas to enjoy with benches and patio area as well as nice sculptures and art work. There is also a bookstore but it was closed as well. The children loved exploring the grounds and we will definitely need to stop here again when it is open and visit the different areas. Great Job Boerne.

Our family loves to play tennis and this park has a huge assortment of courts to play on. Not to mention lots of grassy areas and a playground for the kids to run off some steam. Pack a snack or a lunch as there are plenty of picnic tables as well.

The Cave Without a Name is a small cave but didn't disappoint. Beautiful formations and just the thrill of being underground in a cave was all it took for our grandsons to be impressed. Our guide was informative telling us the history of the cave and giving us lessons on the formations. WARNING...there are steep stairs which were okay going down but this old out of shape granny, had to take several stops to rest and catch her breath!

I recently visited cascade caverns. My tour guides name was stingray I was so pleased to have him he made everything so clear and informative when ever you go I would without a doubt try and go with stingray. Also I visited the gift shop I found out there incredible rock collection I was so amazed at the different size and shapes of all the rocks it’s definitely the place to go if you are looking for a specific rock or crystal. They have them all!

We recently visited here as part of a community activity and had not been here in a while. They have kept this place in nice condition and added more since the last time we visited. There was plenty of parking and the area is nicely spread out for social distancing with several areas to enjoy. The picnic area is nicely shaded and close to the visitor center which had maps of the four trails. The trails are 1/2 mile to 1/3 miles in length with some a little more challenging along the creeks then others that are mulch type trails. The Marshland Trail is handicap-accessible. There is a pavilion, observation deck and restrooms. There is no entrance fee but donations are accepted. Bicycles are not allowed on the trails. It was nice and breezy the afternoon we visited. Great creek exploration with cypress trees and wildlife.

This is my favorite place to walk and train my dogs. It's also a great place to put your kayak in and head down river. It's a long journey to the bridge by water but you won't be regret it. It's amazing. They have bird and wildlife viewing areas complete with inside seating. The land is hard to find but very secluded which is why I go. The area is small but a great place to walk and walk. Some of the area by the river is quite steep and I would not recommend to an unseasoned hiker. There are two places you can walk down to the river without much effort. However, depending on river flow they are not always accessible. There are VERY steep incline areas that to avoid you must walk around on the "road." We get in some great walks and when we leave the dogs are wiped out. They don't provide poop bags so please bring your own and pick up after your pet. There is not always someone on site so make sure you take a cell phone as it's pretty isolated out there. There are portapotties that are handicap accessible. The paths are well marked by the main office area. The area is relatively small so no worries, you won't get lost. I honestly hate to provide a review because I don't want it to get popular.

Enjoy spectacular scenery along River Road, a drive not for the faint of heart.

This is a wonderful town with an assortment of places to go and things to do. If you want to take a break from shopping, consider a short detour to take a leisurely walk along the river. You can easily park at many locations in town and walk to the river trail. The paved trail goes from one side of downtown to the other with access also from some businesses/shops along Main St. One end on river road has restrooms, picnic tables and is right along the river for a picnic or just to relax and watch the multitude of ducks. You can walk the paved trail under the bridge and around behind businesses on Main as you see the river wind. Along the way are some nice art sculptures. If you walk the entire length you will end up past the main square. This is always an enjoyable area that is nicely maintained.
