From San Antonio , head west on Highway 90. At the town of Sabinal, take a right, heading north on Highway 127 to Concan . In Concan, Highway 127 intersects Highway 83 which follows the Frio River Canyon north to Leakey . Between Concan and Leakey, the options are endless for water fun on the Rio Frio (Cold River), from tubing and fishing to soaking and sun bathing. The Frio River’s popularity is understood given the beauty of the drooping cypress trees and limestone cliffs lining the banks of the cool, clear, jade-colored water.

Between Concan and Leakey, accommodations range from high-end bed and breakfast inns, dude ranches and resorts to the ever-popular Garner State Park that offers cabins and camping sites. Garner State Park covers 1,420 acres along the Frio River and is one of the most popular summer family destinations in the state. Even if you stay at a cabin or inn outside of the park, Garner is a great place to spend the day with multiple activities to choose from. In the afternoon when you’ve had enough water fun, you may want to venture into Leakey and check out the Real County Historical Museum which houses historic displays and artifacts in period rooms. The nearby Wildlife Art Museum features art of taxidermy, sculpture, paintings and carvings.
