The prize jewel of Blanco is the unique Blanco River weaving right through the center of town. Blanco State Park houses picnic areas, hiking trails, boating, and fishing. Rainbow Trout are stocked twice a month in December and January and are quickly snatched up, so try to wait patiently for the release dates. The rest of the year still offers opportunities to catch largemouth bass, catfish, and sunfish. After a day in the sun, cool off with a nice swim in either of the two dammed-off swimming areas, complete with waterfalls and other fun water features.
Discover the historic side of town with a visit to The Old Blanco County Courthouse, which also hosts the annual Lavender Festival, typically held the first weekend in May.
Find fun for the whole family just a short drive from Blanco. Kids and adults alike will enjoy the interactive exhibits at Hill Country Science Mill just 14 miles away in Johnson City. An afternoon will slip by just like that while you're learning and playing games, and who knows—you might leave with an aspiring scientist.
Whether you're coming for a wedding, a relaxing weekend getaway, or to partake in annual festivals, there's no doubt a stay in one of our Blanco vacation rentals will help you create long-lasting memories.
Blanco, TX, is often referred to as “the Lavender Capital of Texas,” as the city is home to the first commercial lavender farm in the state. As such, Hill Country Lavender Farm participates in the annual Lavender Festival each June and attracts crowds of travelers with live music, wine and beer booths, and a naturally-perfumed market of local goods.
