Top outdoor activities in Fredericksburg, Tx
Although our small town is known for its vineyards and wine tasting tours... there is actually a lot more to do.
While most of the wineries make for a beautiful outdoor activity, here is a quick list of non-wine things to do while still enjoying the sunshine and the beautiful surrounding hill country.
Enchanted Rock
This State Park offers camping, picnicking, 8.4 miles of hiking trails, a nature trail, rock climbing, cave exploration and wildlife. And stay after sunset to stargaze in the Dark Sky. Don’t miss this natural beauty if you’re in the area. Make sure to get your passes here in advance!
Lyndon B. Johnson State Park
The Lyndon B. Johnson State Park and Historic Site is a historically significant park in the heart of former President LBJ’s country home. Enjoy a self-guided tour of the World War I era Sauer-Beckmann Living History Farm, where you will find park rangers in period clothing tending to crops, farm animals and preparing meals. The park is also home to 1.2 miles of walking trails, bison, Texas longhorns, wildflowers, creeks and historic cabins.
Roam Ranch Tours
This is a one-of-a-kind experience you won’t forget. Tour a regenerative bison ranch in the heart of the Hill Country. Learn about their ecosystem restoration process, the bison, other animals on property and even take home some of their 100% grass-fed and pasture raised meat.

Wildseed Farm
Visit the nation’s largest working wildflower farm. The farm has over 200 acres of wildflower fields at its Hill Country headquarters outside of Fredericksburg.

Cross Mountain
