New Texas Hill Country park will open Guadalupe River access
Key Points:
- Kendall County commissioners approved the purchase of approximately 310 acres along Farm to Market Road 474 and the Guadalupe River for $11.25 million to develop a new park in the Texas Hill Country.
- The park, located about 8 miles northeast of Boerne, will feature the county's first water trail dedicated to floating, kayaking, and canoeing, connecting to the nearby Kreutzberg Canyon Natural Area.
- The purchase was funded by Proposition A, a 2022 voter-approved measure allowing up to $20 million in bonds for land conservation, water quality protection, wildlife habitats, and recreational access.
- The property is undergoing inspection, survey, and environmental review periods, during which the county may cancel the purchase if issues are found.
