About Honey Creek State Natural Area
Imagine the Hill Country of 100 years ago – or see it for yourself at Honey Creek State Natural Area. This protected piece of land harbors plants and animals nurtured by a 1.5-mile spring-fed creek. On the tours, you’ll hear about the history, geology, plants and animals of this special place. At the scenic overlook, Spanish moss dangles from live oaks and Ashe junipers. You’ll get a first glimpse of Honey Creek winding through bald cypress trees far below. The tour culminates in a walk by the pristine and peaceful creek. Access to Honey Creek guided hikes is through Guadalupe River State Park, beginning at the Rust House. Be sure to explore the house before or after the tour.
