Want to do some exploring? High gas prices have you looking for a nearby getaway? Then order a copy of LCRA’s Explorer’s Guide, listing hundreds of fun, entertaining and cultural things to do and see along the Colorado River Trail.

Updated this summer, the easy-to-use Explorer’s Guide helps the traveling public decide what to do and see in communities along the 500-mile-plus trail that runs from San Saba in the Texas Hill Country to Matagorda Bay on the Gulf of Mexico.

For campers as well as day-trippers, the full-color guide also includes information on LCRA’s many parks located in 11 counties along or near the Colorado River.

The guide highlights monthly events and categorizes attractions such as historic sites and communities, arts and cultural, driving and walking tours, entertainment, food and drink, golf courses, museums, horseback riding, outdoors and recreation and plants and animals.

The Colorado River Trail ties together the attractions, places and events along the twists and turns of the river. Tourists have a good time exploring the trail while communities benefit from a boost in their economy.

To have a copy mailed to you, make a request at ecodev@lcra.org or call 1-800-776-5272, Ext. 3399.
