Parks with limited trails
So while I am looking for parks to visit I always check out the trails and review the recent posts on AllTrails. Always. So a few parks with very limited trails are on the bottom of my lists to visit for simply that purpose only.
- Guadalupe River SP
- Lyndon B Johnson SP & Historical Site – no trails
- Blanco River SP
- Kickapoo Cavern SP – limited trails, but cool caves (no dogs)
- Lockhart SP
- Stephen F. Austin SP
- Mother Neff SP
- Longhorn Cavern SP – caves that dogs can’t go in
- Honey Creek SNA – only accessible through guided tours
