It's a beautiful drive, especially the part from Medina to the park. I think Shannon's timing estimate sounds about right, 1 hr 15 min to 1 hr 30 min. To me, Lost Maples and the areas surrounding it are about as good as the hill country gets. Hope you enjoy your trip

Your route is the one was always take. The Medina area is especially scenic--one of the roads there (I'm afraid I always forget which one, else I'd mention it by name) offers up steep drop-offs, impressive road cuts, lots of trees, winding roads and a couple overlooks. If you don't find yourself traveling it to get to the park, ask at the ranger station and I'm sure they can direct you the right way. Enjoy!
