Neighbors are friendly and always ready for a good time. With so much to offer, Fredericksburg is surely a place to create lasting memories for years to come!

 

 

Texas Hill Country has quickly become a popular wine destination and Fredericksburg is at the heart of it all! With over 50 wineries and vineyards, Fredericksburg welcomes tourists from near and far to experience award-winning wines and breathtaking landscapes. Wine, however, is not the only thing Fredericksburg is famous for. From May through August, Texans and tourists alike visit Hill Country to experience the fun of picking their very own Texas peaches.

Enchanted Rock is one of the most heavily visited parks in the state park system and for good reason. Located 18 miles north of Fredericksburg, this National natural landmark is known for its breathtaking views of the terrain by day and the starry sky by night! Enchanted Rock has fascinated visitors for thousands of years and has sparked many legends about the rock’s “enchanted” nature. This pink granite dome stands 425 feet above the ground and makes for a great day out in nature. Visitors can camp, hike, rock climb, and stargaze for a small fee. The hike to the top of the rock is only .6 miles, but don’t be fooled by the distance, this hike is steep. For those who would prefer a less challenging walk, the Loop Trail is a four-mile hike around the rock. If you find yourself at Enchanted Rock at night, don’t forget to look up! Happy trails!
