In a state where everything is bigger, there's no state park larger than this one. Remote and rugged, the Big Bend Ranch State Park covers more than 300,000 acres of Chihuahuan Desert wilderness. The park extends along the Rio Grande from southeast of Presidio to near Lajitas in both Brewster and Presidio Counties, encompassing two mountain ranges and containing extinct volcanoes, desert, canyons, and waterfalls.
With 66 miles of trails, and primitive roadside and backcountry campsites, the park has a lot to offer those seeking adventure in the wild. Of course, food, lodging and Wi-Fi are also available at the Saucedo Complex, and the three-bedroom "Big House" provides luxury accommodations for eight.
With 23 miles of Rio Grande/Rio Bravo frontage, Big Bend Ranch makes an excellent starting point for paddling excursions. Multi-use recreational activities such as hiking, backpacking, horseback riding and mountain biking are available on trails along River Road and in the interior.
