Inks Lake State Park
After going to Blanco State park we decided to keep on going.
We went up to Inks Lake State Park.
Papa and Jelly Bean.The park boasts beautiful outcroppings of ancient, granite-like rock, called gneiss, making the park one of the state's best geological wonders.
My Little Man
Wonder what he is thinking about?
Hmm.......... info from a web site: http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/spdest/findadest/parks/inks/
History: Inks Lake State Park is 1201 acres of recreational facilities adjacent to Inks Lake on the Colorado River in Burnet County. The park was acquired by deeds from the Lower Colorado River Authority and private owners in 1940 and was opened to the public in 1950.
It was starting to sprinkle and it was getting late
so we had to take off.
I did get some cool photos of a double rainbow on the way
home threw the van window.
Can you see both of them?
We plan on going back and camping and doing some fishing too.
From a web site:
Fish species in 803-acre Inks Lake:
Bass: Guadalupe, Largemouth, Striped, White
Catfish: Channel, Flathead
Crappie: White
Shad: Gizzard, Threadfin
Others: Bluegill
We also want to go check out Longhorn Cavern Sate Park. Wanted to this day
but, we all did not have on good shoes to hike threw a cavern.
From a web site:
Longhorn Cavern State Park features Longhorn Cavern, a Texas Hill Country wonder created over thousands of years by the dissolving and cutting action of water on the limestone bedrock of the area. Fossil remains show that many Ice Age animals once occupied the cave.
As one of Texas' river-formed caverns, Longhorn Cavern is full of wonderful and exciting discoveries. You will experience natural wonders such as Crystal City, an area of the cavern that is adorned with calcite crystals that were formed by standing pools of calcium-saturated water.
Sounds neat doesn't it?
