I’m not a huge fan of snakes and such BUT... when my kids make me go to these places it’s not that bad. It’s really cool to see all of the different species. This place was fun for all ages.

Hero Water Sports is Texas’ very first inflatable water park, a place fit for people of all ages where anyone can be a hero.

You’ll have fun in clear, clean lake water free of chlorine, in a park with a low carbon footprint and minimal environmental impact on the lake, making your day of adventure an eco-friendly one. We always have certified lifeguards on duty and everyone in the park wears a life jacket, so you can relax knowing safety is always a top priority here. Come by and get a day pass, and enjoy discounted rates for military, law enforcement, and first responders all year round.

Visited during our annual family gathering and it was well worth the 1.5 hr drive. Logan was amazing as he helped and encouraged our kids and parents (13-65) to ensure everyone had a blast. A cooler with drinks and snacks along with camp chairs and shade tent made it easy to spend the day there. Those too old/young to participate have water access via a man-made beach area to play/cool off. It’s already an affordable day however his military discount made us deeply appreciate his way of giving back to veterans. Thanks Logan!!! This was the highlight of our week!

A Large portion of the Bastrop State Park was destroyed by a devasting fire in September of 2011. The community along with the State and other organizations have been replanting the trees. Although it doesn't possess the same beauty it offers an interesting perspective in how a forest is regrown. There are still a number of areas that were not burned that you can see as well as a number of the Historic buildings. This park is listed in the National Historic Registry. There is RV and tent camping available. Bastrop State Park is located next to Buescher State Park and suffered very little damage. You can see the beauty of the Lost Pines, see what a fire can do to a forest and see the Lost Pines in their toddler stage of growth. Both Bastrop and Buescher State Parks are not far from the North and South shores of Lake Bastrop where you can enjoy a wonderful weekend at the Lake.

We've stayed here 3 times and each time the park looks better and better. It's been 10 years since the fire and lots of new growth. Nice hiking trails, easy for the kiddos Too! Bathrooms are immaculate, hosts do a great job keeping them clean. On weekends, the park provides programs too. They are rebuilding the dam now. We stayed in Piney Hill.
