SP GETAWAY -- KICKAPOO: Funny sounding name ... great 
state park ... which one is it? Find out on Passport to Texas

This is a Passport to Texas State Park Getaway

Make plans for a road trip June 12 for the grand opening 
of Kickapoo Caverns State Park. Visitation to the site has 
been limited -- until now. Bryan Frazier is our State park 
guide and tells us more about this exciting destination.

:53 -- It's out in a little bit of a remote area. A lot of people are 
familiar with Uvalde, Brackettville and rock Springs. That's the 
area we're talking about. It's a beautiful area. As part of Central 
Texas, we have so much limestone that creates the caves -- the 
labyrinth of cave systems that we have here -- and Kickapoo 
caverns actually has fifteen caves on site. And two of them are 
big enough, significant enough, to be developed for tours. 
Stewart Bat Cave and Kickapoo Cavern. And we've built 
campgrounds around that; so we're going to just unveil that to 
the public. We're going to have free entrance, free camping, 
free bat cave tours and bat flights, free hikes. There's a network 
of hike and bike trails. I think you've got fourteen miles of 
developed trails and eighteen miles of undeveloped trails. And 
it's a really unique experience and we want to encourage people 
to get out and do something different. June 12th, the grand 
opening of Kickapoo Caverns State Park ... so ... .put that on your 
calendar.

Thanks Bryan.
