  • What Can’t You Do in Llano?

Hunting

Llano is nationally known as the “Deer Capital of Texas” and hosts many  hunters seeking the abundance of white-tailed deer in the fall and winter  seasons. The Llano Chamber of Commerce hosts a Hunters’ Welcome each  Friday before deer season opens. 

Fishing

Year-round fishing in the picturesque Llano River and surrounding  Highland Lakes makes Llano a sportsman’s dream destination. Usually the  best time to fish the Llano River for bass is October and November when the  fish are most active. The Guadalupe bass is only found in the Texas Hill  Country and offers great sport for fly casters. 

Camping

Badu Park is located downtown along the north bank of the Llano River.  Full RV hookups, extensive playground, and covered pavilions along with  a spectacular view of the bridge makes Badu Park a favorite setting for locals  and visitor alike. Robinson Park is located on West Hwy 152 just 2 miles west of downtown.  RV hookups, tent camping, picnic tables, full playground, swimming pool,  and large covered pavilion are all nestled under a canopy of oak trees.  This is a great place to swim in the river or launch a canoe or kayak. Both of  these parks are supervised by the City of Llano. Call 325-247-4158 for  information.
