NEARBY ATTRACTIONS

Lulling Oil Museum

Palmetto State Park was acquired by deeds from private owners and the city of Gonzales in 1934 and opened in 1936.  The park is named for the dwarf palmetto (Sabal minor), which grows abundantly throughout the park. 

The park abuts the San Marcos River and also has a 4 acre lake called Lake Oxbow that is spring fed. There are many bogs throughout the park giving the park a jungle-like atmosphere.

We stayed overnight here in March 2018 on our way out west from Georgia. We enjoyed walking around the park and hiked the San Marcos River Trail. It's a very small park but plenty of walking available and we would have enjoyed one more day to explore.
