Review & FAQ:

The Hill Country State Natural Area ten miles southwest of Bandera, Texas has preserved over 5,000 acres of Hill Country terrain since the mid 1980’s. The site boats the limestone mesas and hills that the Hill Country is known for, populated with beautiful Texas Live Oak and pecan trees, grasses and sotol. The site differs from a state park in that it is purposefully kept wild, and as such, offers ample opportunities for wildlife viewing. Common fauna includes white tailed and axis deer, rock squirrels, rabbits, wild turkeys and armadillos. Over 160 species of birds live in the area or migrate through, including the endangered black capped vireo and golden-cheeked warbler.
