Generations of Texas families have been coming to Garner to float and swim in the cold clear Frio River and the tradition shows no sign of slowing down. Kids spend entire days wading through shallow riffles and jumping off low rocks into deeper pools. The park runs summer dances on the concrete slab that are a uniquely Texas family experience. Campsites along the river are some of the most coveted in the state park system.
