Palmetto State Park, State park in Gonzales County, Texas.

The park spans across diverse ecosystems with dense stands of dwarf palmetto plants growing beneath a canopy of hardwood trees along the San Marcos River.

The Civilian Conservation Corps constructed the park's facilities in the 1930s, including a distinctive water tower and pavilion that remain functional today.

Local nature programs introduce visitors to Texas wildlife through guided walks, educational presentations, and hands-on activities for children throughout the year.

The park provides 19 tent sites, 17 RV spots, and an air-conditioned cabin, along with facilities for kayaking, fishing, and hiking across multiple trails.

An artesian well within the park continuously releases mineral-rich water, creating wetland conditions that support rare plant species typically found in tropical environments.
