PALMETTO SP WILDLIFE: You can see a lot of wildlife on the 
trails at Palmetto State Park ... on Passport to Texas

This is Passport to Texas

At less than 300 acres, Palmetto SP might not be the 
biggest site in the park system, but if you like wildlife 
viewing you'll find wood ducks, raccoons, red eared 
sliders, eastern bluebirds, fox squirrels, and horned 
lizards, to name a few. 

And as our SP guide, Bryan Frazier tell us, trail 
improvements in the park will get you up close and 
personal with all of them.

31 -- it's SE of the Austin area, near Luling and Gonzales. And 
they have almost doubled their trail system -- and it isn't just 
little pathway trails; we're talking about extra wide, five or six 
wide, caliche based trails and boardwalks. They've got plans for 
wayside interpretive panels all along there. And it's really some 
of the nicest trails that we have in our state park system. And 
so, not only is it in response to customer demand, but its 
something that we're proud to showcase as well ... that, here's 
dollars being used for purposes that people have wanted.

Thanks Bryan.

The park abuts the San Marcos River. So take a break 
from your hike to cast a line into the water and reel in a 
channel catfish or largemouth bass, because you can fish 
free in state parks.

That's our show ... For Texas Parks and Wildlife ... I'm
