Mill Pond Park In Texas Has A White Sandy Beach That Rivals The Coast

Enjoying the beach doesn’t require a trip to the coast! This inland city park in San Saba has white, pristine sands that rival some of our state’s most popular tourist destinations.

Spanning 71 acres, the park features baseball fields, a children’s playground, basketball courts, a track, and several nature trails. It’s also home to a beach with some of the whitest, most pristine sand in Texas that attracts tourists from all over the state.

A spring-fed lake boasts a breathtaking waterfall that cascades over rocks surrounded by vegetation such as eye-popping green moss and ferns. Seven million gallons of water pump around the park daily.

From the falls, water flows underneath an elevated walkway before dispersing across the landscape. This very pond still provides water to the residents of San Saba today!

Take a leisurely stroll over bridges, beneath the shade of sprawling oak trees, and along the many tributaries that wind their way through the park. All the while, keep an eye out for the whimsical, majestic plants and animals taking up residence everywhere you look.

Be sure to pack some nuts and seeds for the birds! Ducks and geese abound throughout the park, and the friendly feathered friends never shy away from a treat.
