Honey Creek State Natural Area Spring Branch, TX 78070

"Met with friends at Guadalupe River State Park on a beautiful Sunday afternoon - the weather was beyond perfect. Sun was out and the temperature was just shy of sixty. We all agreed to take a route off the trail and of our own choice which led us to and through Honey Creek Star Natural Area. When I say we hiked and explored WE REALLY HIKED AND EXPLORED. I highly recommend hiking boots. We were out here for about six hours - two in the afternoon to about eight at night. We walked on peaceful areas of secluded flat ground here at Honey Creek. Saw deer and bulls, and even heard coyotes towards the end of our hike. Will definitely be back soon!"

"Make a reservation for this tour through the TPWD website. This is one of the last remaining pristine creeks in Texas. Please only access this by guided tour. The fines are quite high if found in the area without permission."

"Had tour guides, Rick and Paul, who led a great, friendly, and informative tour at a very comfortable pace."

"First of all, my guide's name was Laird, and he did an outstanding job of providing flora and fauna information as well as history. I've done a few state-park guided tours, and this was the best one thus far. Well worth making the reservation to do this tour. Guadalupe River SP is nice, but Honey Creek is the best part of the area IMO. Highly recommend the tour."

"Honey Creek State Natural Area is not for everyone, me included. Not only do you need a reservation but tours are only offered on Saturdays and fill up quickly. The natural area is within Guadalupe River State Park so make sure you get a pass here as well. I would have preferred to take this hike myself instead of with 10 others who stopped to ask questions every hundred yards. It is pretty but not part of the park I’d need to visit again."
