Kerrville sits on the Guadalupe River in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, surrounded by rolling limestone hills and live oak groves. It is the largest town in Kerr County and serves as a base for exploring one of the most scenic parts of central Texas.
The river is the centre of outdoor life here — swimming, tubing, and kayaking in summer, with several parks along its banks. The Museum of Western Art on the edge of town showcases painting and sculpture of the American West. Each spring and autumn Kerrville hosts folk and bluegrass festivals that draw musicians and audiences from across the country, continuing a long tradition of live music in the Hill Country.
The surrounding countryside is dotted with ranches, wineries, and small towns worth a drive. The Guadalupe River State Park to the south and Lost Maples State Natural Area to the west offer good hiking, and the wildflower season in March and April is spectacular.
