When a county is named after a river, you know it will be enriched in nature, and San Saba County doesn’t disappoint. At Mill Pond Park, the 5,959 residents are greeted by a spring-fed lake that pumps seven million gallons of water daily; flowing under a bridge and winding around the seventy-one acres of parkland, occupants have full access to baseball fields, a children’s playground, basketball courts, nature trails, and the San Saba County Museum. If staying indoors and shopping is more your style, be sure to stop by the stylish JC Campbell & Company Mercantile.
