Re: Looking for Good Park with Great Hiking

While Big Bend has miles and miles of wonderful hiking at all levels not just overnight backpacking, dogs are not allowed on or off trail because of the wildlife (mountain lions, black bear, javelina, etc).
Most State Parks allow dogs but on leash only.
Lost Maples State Natural Area is our family's fav place ( about 2 hours northwest of San Antonio). Small campground with mostly open sites. If you're lucky you can get one of the 3 or 4 that afford some privacy. Tents and RVs of all sizes. Lots of day trippers during the Fall. Hopefully you can still get a spot. at this late date.
Enchanted Rock is a great spot for hiking and rock climbing. Tent camping is all they allow.
Pedernales Falls is another one that is good for hiking.
I realize these may be further from home that you had in mind but thought I'd throw them out there for consideration.
