Texas Picnic Area–Hwy 163

Another Texas picnic table pull out. This one has a nice loop off of the highway with shelters over two picnic tables, grills, and trash cans. There’s also an historical sign describing the trail that the Ozona-Barnhart Trap Company built in the 1020s so that local ranchers could drive their cattle to the railroad without cutting barb wire fences and going through private land. The trail was used into the 1950s.

The road is a little noisy with traffic in the evening and morning but quiet at night.

One of the picnic table shelters is accessible.  30.83515, -101.16934 Road Sign
