The Volkssportverein Friedrichsburg walking club is featuring their wonderful walk in Stonewall this coming Saturday, July 11th. It is their LBJ State Park and National Historical Park Year Round Event (YRE), and it is one of the “Summer Sunrise” events, with staff at the walk start point to register walkers at 6:30 am.
The Lyndon B. Johnson State Park in Stonewall is about 60 miles from Austin on 290 going west through Johnson City. This state park is directly across the Pedernales River from the LBJ Ranch. The State Park Visitor Center contains memorabilia from President Johnson’s presidency and interactive displays about the Land and People that shaped a president.
The walk offers distances of 5km, two different 10km, and 20km. The longer distances include the Lyndon B Johnson National Historic Park. The walks are mostly unshaded, so bring water and a hat.
The Start/Finish is in the parking lot of the LBJ State Park Visitor Center. The address is 199 Park Road 52, Stonewall, TX 78671. The registration table at the start point will be staffed from 6:30 am (dawn) to 11:00 am, so walkers can start early to beat the heat.
Please see the flyer below for all the details on this year’s walk.
