Join us as we celebrate lunar observation, science & exploration!
•
This weekend we invite you to attend this free, public event to view the moon and planets through telescopes. Prior to viewing, there will be short presentation about our nearest celestial neighbor in the parking lot near the park headquarters. The Hill Country Astronomers will help answer questions and offer views of the Moon through their telescopes.
•
This evening is part of "International Observe the Moon Night," a worldwide public event that encourages observation, appreciation and understanding of our Moon and its connection to NASA planetary science, exploration and human culture. The Moon phase on October 17th will be a waxing crescent about 37% illuminated. you will be able to see many of the prominent features on the moon, including the striking shadows along the terminator (the line between night and day on the Moon) that highlight the craters.
•
The event is weather-dependent, but the forecast currently looks clear and cool 😎

For the second year in a row, LBJ State Park welcomed the Girl Scouts of Central Texas to celebrate Girl Scouts Love State Parks Day! This year, we hosted over 30 girls and their families as part of our Seed Stomp event.

Rangers Amber, Emily, and Jessica taught the scouts about different pollinators and the importance of native wildflowers, helping them all to earn the Girl Scout Pollinator Patch! Then the girls headed over to Ranger Caleb, where they all got to throw and stomp wildflower seeds around the park with some extra help from Ranger Sara the flower.

Thank you so much to all the scouting families who came out to make this day such a success! We look forward to hosting Girl Scouts Love State Parks Day again!

For those that missed it, we recently had our Inland Fisheries Division stock our river with more channel catfish! This native catfish is the most fished species in the United States, with over 8 million caught per year. We cannot promise that there are 8 million of these channel cats in the Pedernales River right now, but there are certainly more than there were before last week. Come on out with your fishing pole and catch yourself some! 🎣

Oct 16th: Back from last year, we have our Not-so-Haunted-House tour, where you will tour the Sauer-Beckmann Farm at night. *Reservations are required. Max of 20 people. Recommended for ages 12 and up*

Not that it’s a competition or anything, but we might have the very last Texas Bluebonnet of 2026 at LBJ State Park 💅

Our annual Seed Stomp event is this Saturday from 10am to 2pm.

Join in the legacy started by Lady Bird Johnson to help beautify our public lands with wild flowers! We will provide all visitors with native wildflower seeds to throw and stomp around our state park so that they can grow and bloom in the spring. Meet at the Visitor Center anytime between 10 and 2. We hope to see you there! 🪻🌻 by @lbjstatepark
