Lost Maples State Natural Area is situated on over 2000 acres in Bandera and Real counties, north of
Vanderpool on the Sabinal River. Archaeological evidence shows that the area was used by prehistoric peoples. Apache and Comanche Indians were present well into the 19th century.
Visitors to the park enjoy picnicking, camping, backpacking, sightseeing, and other outdoor activities.
The pari features a large, isolated stand of uncommon Uvalde Bigtooth Maple, whose fall foliage can be spectacular.
