Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with a wee tale about the history of San Antonio’s largest State Natural Area. Join site interpreter John Koepke at our brand new amphitheater and discover an informational Pot O’ Gold: learn the origin of the name “Government Canyon,” why trails have the names that they do, the difference between a State Natural Area and a State Park, and much more! It’s everything you ever wanted to know about Government Canyon, and that’s no malarkey. Come prepared with lots of questions.
