FOR EMERGENCIES, PLEASE CALL 9-1-1.
WEATHER CHANGES QUICKLY. Check forecasts before you leave and prepare
for unexpected changes in the weather. Be aware of changes in the river – if you
see the water rising or turning muddy, seek higher ground immediately.
YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CONNECT. It’s a good idea to take along a cell
phone and GPS unit, but don’t count on them.
WEAR A HELMET. When mountain biking, check with park HQ to match the
trail to your skill level. Wear a helmet to protect yourself in case of a crash.
TELL OTHERS WHERE YOU’LL BE. If possible, avoid exploring alone.
Tell someone where you are going and when you plan to return.
DRINK PLENTY OF WATER. Your body quickly loses fluids when you’re
on the trail. Bring a quart of water per hour of activity.
KNOW YOUR LIMITS. Prepare for sun and heat. Wear sunscreen, insect
repellent and appropriate clothing/hiking shoes.

DESCRIPTION
@TPWDparks
Keep pets on leashes to keep them safe while protecting wildlife.
#TxStateParks
No horsing around. Horseback riders must stay on trails marked for horses and yield to
other trail users on multi-use trails. Everyone yields to horses following proper trail etiquette.
Don’t Pocket the Past. Help preserve Texas heritage. Leave artifacts where you find them
and report their location to a ranger.
Take only memories and pictures. Please don’t disturb or remove any of the park’s plants,
animals or artifacts.
Leave feeding to nature. Feeding wild animals will make them sick and more likely to cause
harm to people.
Trash your trash. Keep the park natural. Pack out all of your trash and Leave No Trace.
