David had the afternoon off from his consulting work, so we decided to investigate another state park. Old Tunnel State Park is the smallest state park in the Texas system at only 16 acres. The tunnel is an old railroad tunnel that was built in 1908 for a rail line between Fredericksburg and Austin. The rail line
closed in 1943. The park was opened in 1991. Its claim to fame is the 3 million Mexican bats that live in the tunnel between May and October. The tunnel is not accessible to hikers. We walked the short nature trail and saw a deer along the walk.
