RECREATION
When you live in a place as naturally beautiful as
Bastrop County, recreation isn’t just a pastime—it’s
a way of life. Between the tall pines, winding rivers,
and open skies, there’s always a place to explore,
unwind, or simply breathe in the quiet charm of the
country. Whether it’s a weekend stay at a cozy bedand-breakfast, a round of golf under the Texas sun,
or a family avernoon on the river, this is where adventure meets relaxation and everyday moments turn
into cherished memories.
This year’s Recreation winners and runners-up represent the businesses and experiences that make
Bastrop County such a beloved destination for locals
and visitors alike. They’re the camp leaders who
spark joy in kids each summer, the museum curators
preserving our shared history, the outdoor recreation
companies guiding us through scenic trails, and the
parks and lodging hosts who make every stay feel
To be voted among the BEST in Recreation means
more than running a great business—it means creating moments that last. These are the places where
friends gather, families make memories, and visitors
fall in love with the rhythm of small-town Texas life.
Across Bastrop County, recreation connects us—to
nature, to each other, and to the spirit of exploration
that deûnes who we are. So, as you turn these pages, take note of the people and places that help us
play, rest, and rediscover the joy in our own backyard. Because in Bastrop County, recreation isn’t
something we do—it’s who we are.
