Overview

You’ve likely traveled for hours to arrive. You’re eager to get into Big Bend Ranch State Park. Then you see the oversized entrance sign welcoming you to the park. Little did you know that you still have miles to go. However, adventure awaits at every turn in the park. So even the Main Park Road provides a touch of adventure as you travel over an hour just to get to the ranger station. From there it's still 3 hours to the farther reaches of the park. This is Texas. Everything is big. Wildlife and scenic viewing spots dot the roadside. Numerous designated camping spots flash by. For many visitors, the Main Park Road may be their sole offroad experience. While Main Park Road is easy to travel, the scenery is no less spectacular than many spots on much more remote and rugged trails in the park. You’re sure to spend time on Main Park Road to enjoy the scenery!
