Palmetto State Park


  • Palmetto State Park 78 Park Road 11 South Gonzales, TX, 78629 United States (map)

Things to Do

This small park offers a large amount of fun, both on water and land.

On the water

You can swim, tube, fish and canoe here. Besides the flowing river, the park also has an oxbow lake, an artesian well and swamps.

We rent one- and two-person kayaks and stand-up paddle boards through Paddle EZ. Life jackets and oars are included.

Read through our water safety tips before you visit. Be cautious when swimming in the river. Rain upstream can cause flash flooding.

On land

Hike or bike our trails, camp, geocache, go birding or study nature. Hike the Palmetto Trail which winds through a stand of dwarf palmettos. Host a gathering at our CCC-built picnic pavilion, which has an air-conditioned kitchen.
