Lockhart State Park

Miles traveled: 61.5 miles

Time: 6 hours

Work produced: 3 interviews, 9 videos, 16 photos, 1 Instagram post and 4 Instagram stories. 

What I learned today: Geocaching is definitely a workout for the mind and legs.  

A drive not to far from San Marcos or San Antonio, Lockhart is the hidden gem in between. Here are the five must do activities when visiting.

1. Golfing: Fun fact about Lockhart State Park is that they operate and manage a nine-hole golf course which offers beautiful scenery. 

2. Swimming: Lockhart is one of two state parks that still manages and runs a swimming pool. With this Texas heat, Lockhart residents and campers can take a dip in the crystal-clear water. 

3. Geocaching: this was a new activity for me today, I found out that geocaching is very popular at Lockhart State Park. The park is loaded with geocache spots, which my group was able to track one down. I do recommend this activity it was fun.

4. Fishing: Great news fishermen don’t need fishing license at Lockhart, and the type of fishes that swim through Clear Fork Creek are sunfish, catfish and bass. What Texan doesn't like fishing?  

5. Biking: The trails are perfect for off-road biking, I did notice while walking through the campsite was on some of the campers RV's was bikes, and once I hit the trails I came across a couple of bikers taking in the hot Texas heat while off-roading. So, consider bringing your bike when visiting Lockhart State Park.
