Because of its outstanding recreation, environmental, wildlife, and aquatic life values, Sabinal River was included in the Nationwide Rivers Inventory, for its regional significance. Traversing flat to rolling terrain, and running underground in some regions, it begins and rises in the steep and narrow limestone canyons of Lost Maples State Natural Area northwest of San Antonio, where it is fed by three streams and creeks.
This was a part of the river that runs through Lost Maples State Natural area in Vanderpool, Texas. This place is good for hiking; you can follow the river through good trails, or detour to the hills up to the scenic overlook, where the view from the top is so worth it!
