* River Ranch County Park, in Williamson County, TX, is currently closed while under construction. **

Join us as Sue Wiseman, NPSOT-Wilco member, narrates this preview of the stunning River Ranch County Park located along the San Gabriel River. We are grateful to the Williamson County Parks and Recreation Department for allowing NPSOT to get an early glimpse of what’s to come and many thanks to our tour guide, Alejandra Urista.

When opened later in 2021, this beautiful 1,354 acres of meadowlands, woodlands, hills and escarpments that provide hill country vistas between Leander and Liberty Hill will offer park users the opportunity to camp, picnic, hike, bike, ride their horses, nature watch or just relax outside.

River Ranch will showcase an approximate 4,800 square foot Interpretive Center, where you can learn about the natural, cultural and historic resources that make this park so special. Group pavilions and classroom/meeting space can also be reserved for those family, church, civic, business and other group type gatherings you may have.

— by Randy Pensabene
I ran across the Master Plan for Williamson County’s parks and it has a great description of all our county parks, maps, and much more on population, expected growth and other data.  Just passing it along…

You can download the PDF by clicking on the picture in this post or click on this link, or find the info at its source on the county’s website, www.wilco.org. Once there, choose  Departments -> Parks & Recreation -> Master Plan -> 2018 Comprehensive Parks Master Plan, 9/7/2018 (currently the largest file on that page).

Also in the news, Williamson County Parks and Recreation announced they are now on Instagram to stay connected with visitors and share park features.  Join them by following the handle @wilcotxparks on Instagram.
