Lost Maples
display color
VANDERPOOL—Each aut-
umn, prospective visitors hope
weather conditions will be right for
a colorful display of bigtooth maple
leaves at Lost Maples State Natural
Area.
"If weather conditions are just
right, the leaves turn bright reds,
burnt oranges, and yellows" said
Park Superintendent Roy Heide-
man. Cloudy days and warm tem-
peratures produce dull colors, he
said.
The leaves usually begin to
change color in mid-October, and in
good years they reach their peak
during the first two weeks of No-
vember, Heideman said. But
drought conditions have alternated
with rainy spells at Lost Maples
during the past three years. "It has
been especially dry this spring and
summer, so we don't know how that
will affect the fall colors," he said.
The park, located on the Sabi-
nal River northwest of San Antonio,
has a combination of steep Hill
Country canyons, springs, plateau
grasslands, wooded slopes, and
clear streams.
Heideman said campsites are
almost fully booked for weekends in
October and November, so he rec-
ommends weekday visitation.
"Since only 250 cars are allowed in
the day-use parking area, it is espe-
cially important for visitors plan-
ning a one-day trip to schedule it for
a weekday," Heideman said.
Newly renovated campsites are
clustered in a meadow near the park
entrance. The sites have water, elec-
tricity, a grill and shaded table. Each
is within walking distance of a
restroom with showers.
Beyond the developed area of
the paik, visitors can follow the
Maple Trail along the river. Way-
side plaques help identify trees and
other aspects of the canyons.
More adventurous backpackers
can hike 10 miles of rustic, and at
times strenuous, canyon trails and
camp overnight at any of eight des-
ignated primitive camping areas.
Lost Maples is in Bandera
Country, four miles north of Van-
derpool on FM187. Call (512)966-
3413 for infoimation and camping
reservations.
