Scenic Drive to Leakey

The drive starts in Ingram. Fill up your gas tank before you leave Ingram as there are not many options for gas on this drive.

From Ingram, take Texas Hwy 39 west to Hunt (about 7 miles). Hwy 39 parallels the Guadalupe River and is very scenic. In Hunt, take a right on RR 1340 (RR 1340 parallels the North Fork of the Guadalupe River and is very scenic). Go about 20 miles until RR 1340 dead ends into Texas Hwy 41.

Take Hwy 41 west about 8-9 miles to US Hwy 83. Cross Hwy 83 and continue 7-8 more miles on Hwy 41 to RR 336. Take RR 336 south about 15-20 miles (which is very scenic) until it dead ends into US Hwy 83 north of Leakey. Take Hwy 83 south into Leakey.

In Leakey, take RR 337 west toward Campwood. The first 10 miles of RR 337 going west out of Leakey are very scenic, so you can opt to just go west about 10 miles and then turn around and go back to Leakey or you can go all the way to Campwood (about 22 miles).

Eventually, return to Leakey on RR 337. When you get back to Leakey, stay on RR 337 (heading east) and continue about 15 miles to Vanderpool. RR 337 between Leakey and Vanderpool is also very scenic. In Vanderpool, take RR 187 north (you'll pass Lost Maples State Natural Area along the way) until it dead ends into Texas Hwy 39. Take Hwy 39 east back to Hunt and then to Ingram.
