Things to see and do when passing through Lampasas, Texas
From our first visit, we were charmed by Lampasas. We first drove through it on a scorching hot day in June, on a Texas back roads road trip from San Antonio to Dallas. When we got there, were were just a little over halfway home and we were beat.
But downtown Lampasas was a perfect place to refuel and recharge!
Its downtown ice cream shop had just what we needed - ice cream - and its historic facades, the quirky Hanna Springs Sculpture Garden and Texas Hill Country topography make it a place we are eager to return to on our next Texas Hill Country road trip!
Lampasas Travel Notes:
We have stopped in Lampasas multiple times as an alternative route between Dallas and Central Texas. There are many things to experience, with convenient parking and walkability within its downtown and main street area. Our stays in Lampasas have been roughly an hour, and have included quick meals at Storm's Drive-in. (Definitely opt for the sourdough bun!) But one could make a half-day visit or longer, and find plenty to do, things to see and places to eat in Lampasas.
