A weekend in Kerrville
Start at Louise Hays Park — 63 riverfront acres downtown with a dammed swimming stretch, splash pad, and the start of the ~6-mile Kerrville River Trail winding under old-growth cypress. Rent a kayak or paddleboard and you'll understand the whole region in an afternoon.
Off the water: the Museum of Western Art, the Cailloux Theater (Playhouse 2000 and Symphony of the Hills), and the free Riverside Nature Center arboretum. Campers and cyclists head to 517-acre Kerrville-Schreiner Park.
Time it right and you hit the big ones: the Kerrville Folk Festival (18 days of songwriters every May–June — the nation's longest-running), 4th on the River, the fall Texas Arts & Crafts Fair, and the Kerrville Triathlon. See the events calendar.
For lodging and restaurant listings, the official visitor site Kerrville Crafted has the deepest directory — we'd rather point you there than duplicate it.
