Lost Maples State Natural Area, Protected natural area with maple trees in Bandera County, United States.
The 2,906-acre natural area features steep limestone canyons, diverse forests, and the winding Sabinal River across the Edwards Plateau region of Texas.
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department acquired the land between 1973 and 1974, opening it to the public in 1979 as a designated natural area.
The region holds evidence of Apache, Lipan Apache, and Comanche peoples who used these lands for hunting and gathering through different periods.
Visitors can access 11 miles of hiking trails, 30 developed campsites with utilities, and 8 primitive camping areas within the natural boundaries.
The isolated population of bigtooth maple trees in this area represents a rare botanical remnant from the last ice age in Texas.
