About Albert & Bessie Kronkosky State Natural Area
The Albert & Bessie Kronkosky State Natural Area protects a very special piece of the Texas Hill Country. You will be able to see wildlife in natural settings, hear coyotes in the distance, view stars to the northwest, and go camping and hiking once the site opens. Albert and Bessie Kronkosky began buying property in this area in 1946. By 1973, they were hunting, taking photos, and entertaining guests on their ranch. The couple willed their beloved land to the state of Texas to protect it from development. A state natural area is a piece of land with unique natural, cultural and historical features. Protecting and managing these features is our highest priority.
