Summers in Kerrville are known as THE time to enjoy nature and outdoor activities such as camping, kayaking, floating the beautiful, lazy Guadalupe River, and hiking and biking the many trails that our hills provide. Weekends are full of activities and events including rodeos and dances under the stars and theater production on the banks of the Guadalupe River.
