A charming small state park right in the town of Blanco where the river has been dammed to create a calm swimming area that is ideal for little kids. Families can rent tubes and kayaks right at the park and float a short stretch of the Blanco River. The park is compact enough that parents can see the whole area from a picnic table which makes it much more relaxing than larger parks.
