Nature:

The South Llano River State Park is a 507-acre wooded park that lies along the winding South Llano River. Abundant wildlife including white-tailed deer, wood ducks, fox squirrels, rock squirrels, javelina, and the Rio Grande turkey make their homes in this beautiful treasure of a state park.
Scenic Drives:
The Hill Country is made up of many small towns connected by beautiful scenic drives. There are gorgeous Hill Country landscapes in almost any direction. Scenic drives are a favorite pastime for many locals, especially during sunset. So crank those windows down, turn up the radio, and fly over those hills!
Although several are scenic, one of most impressive is U.S. 377 southwest as it travels along the South Llano River. An exceptional overlook is about 22 miles south of Junction at a highway rest area. The drives to Kerrville (52 miles) and Fredericksburg (61 miles) are awesome; they are full of rolling hills, scenic views, and high speed limits!
