Hi Zane, The park has several natural springs  that still flow. That combined with the natural crossing place on the San Gabriel River attracted the Indians who would camp here, and later the cattle men that used the crossing on the Chisholm Trail.  The spot has been attracting visitors for centuries.  I know you're a car guy, here's a picture of my ride that day. 300zx in Georgetown TX

We have never visited the San Gabriel Park if it is anything like Landa Park it New Braunfels it is nice and very family oriented. We will put that on our list of places to visit.

Zane, there is a great July 4th festival in the park that includes a car show.  I'll cover it next summer.   Meanwhile if you want to escape some wintry day, come on down, I'll take the t tops off and we can cruise the hill country.
