Hill Country State Natural Area offers primitive camping, backpacking, na­ture-watching and multiuse trails for hikers, mountain bikers and horse­back riders. Reserve our lodge for your group. Help us keep this natural area pristine by following these rules: Trails and backcountry camp­sites may be closed to protect sensitive areas or for bad weather; observe closure signs. Call or check our Face­book page or Twitter feed for up­dates before your visit. Campfires are allowed only in fire rings. You must bring fire­wood; you may not gather dead wood or cut standing timber here. Pets must be on leashes no longer than 6 feet. We strictly enforce this rule. Fire danger conditions can change rapidly, leading to burn bans with little notice. Check with us before your visit. We do not have a park store, so bring everything you will need. Trails Trails range from easy to challenging, from one-mile strolls to miles-long rambles. Learn more on our Trails Information page. The easy Heritage Loop takes you past remnants of the for­mer ranch. The West Peak Overlook is a staff favorite, with a steep climb leading to expansive views of the western Hill Country.
