Seminole Canyon State Park
Comstock, Texas

The sculpture to the right is located at the trail head leading to Seminole Canyon and the most accessible pictographs located at the Fate Bell Shelter  All sites are only available by guided tour.  If you show up and there are no scheduled tours, other than a small museum, there is not much to see or do. 

This state park does have full hook-up camp ground and primitive camp sites.

Some pictograph location are only accessible by scheduled boat tour.  When we were last there (10/2000) the water in Lake Amistad was so low there were no tours of the boat accessible caves.  I recommend a early Fall or early Spring visit.  Temperatures in the Canyon can be brutal.

The day we hiked Seminole Canyon, water was rushing down the normally dry canyon to Lake Amistad.  This was result of much need torrential rains the day before.  The trail on this day was a little slick but not difficult.
