How to Get There

Overview

Garner State Park is a state park in the community of Concan, Texas located in Uvalde County, Texas. The park is popular with campers and local residents for its activities on the Frio River.

Geology

The area came about millions of years ago in the Cretaceous age when the Edwards Plateau was formed when a section of land was lifted 2000 feet along a curving fault. It is now located on the southwestern edge of the plateau in the sub-region Balcones Canyonlands. Today, high mesas, limestone cliffs, deep canyons, and clear blue streams fill the terrain.

Recreation

Many activities at the park include hiking, nature study, picnicking, canoeing, fishing, paddle boat and kayak rentals (spring and summer), bicycle riding, and miniature golf.
