Heads up, park lovers.

Admission is free to all Texas State Parks on Nov. 2, otherwise known as Texas State Parks Day.

You’ve got 89 to choose from, including Inks Lake State Park, which just opened its new headquarters building; Pedernales Falls State Park, where water spills over huge limestone slabs; Blanco State Park, one of my go-to parks for swimming; or Guadalupe River State Park, where towering cypress trees with knobby knees lean over the river.

“We hope that Texas State Parks Day will inspire all Texans to get outside and explore what our great state has to offer,” State Parks Division Director Rodney Franklin said in a press release. “We encourage you to spend time with family and discover what makes our state parks so special.”

Visit the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department website for activities and events in a park near you.

And another reminder – veterans, active duty and Gold Star family members can get free Parkland Passports that give them free around-the-tear entry to all of the state parks.

Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends. Make them online.
