Lost Maples State Park, near Meyer Bed and Breakfast

Deep in the heart of Texas Hill Country is a beautiful natural area with large hills and amazing sheer cliffs.  Lost Maples State Park is located along the Sabinal River and has several short trails for day hiking and backpacking. 

A beautiful scenic drive southeast of Meyer Bed and Breakfast, this is a great day trip through Texas Hill Country.

Park woodlands offer shade in the summer and are an excellent place to view fall foliage.  Unlike other areas of Texas Hill Country where live oaks abound, this natural area is home to maple trees, which enhance the fall colors. Springs and streams abound throughout the park, interspersed among wooded areas and natural grasslands.

Known for its limestone cliffs and scenic canyons, Lost Maples is home to a variety of wildlife unique to the Texas Hill Country region.  Here you will find armadillos, lizards, and white tailed deer.  For visitors new to the region, the armadillos are especially fun to encounter.  The nine-banded armadillo is the state mammal of Texas, and is named for the nine bands across the middle of its armour-like covering.  This slow moving creature is a distant cousin of the anteater.
