View from screened in Shelter

"Before the 2011 wildfire, loblolly pines covered most of Bastrop State Park. Because this pine pocket was separated from the East Texas Pineywoods by over 100 miles, this area is known as the “Lost Pines.” How did they get here? Pollen records show that pines have persisted in this area for over 18,000 years. They were probably once connected to the Pineywoods region. Over time, the climate became drier and the region covered by pines shrank. The local PINEYsandy soils provided conditions for these WOODS “Lost Pines” to survive. In fact, the pines LOST PINES have become genetically unique, having adapted to 30% less rainfall than loblollies from East Texas and adjacent states. The Lost Pines loblollies represent the westernmost stand of loblolly pine trees in the United States."

Sunset Paddle

We're going to have kayaks, canoes and SUPs available at Lake Bastrop South Shore.  You can go to that park anytime on Friday but it closes at dark.  Which means we can stay for the sunset as long as you're our by dark.

Hiking

Many trails to choose from within Bastrop State Park, Buescher State Park and from Lake Bastrop South Shore.  Trials are easy to moderate with some hikes.
