Kerr County, Texas

Kerrville's Texas Hill Country arts scene and Guadalupe River - from the Kerrville Folk Festival (one of America's most celebrated acoustic music festivals - the Kerrville Folk Festival has been held annually since 1972 on the banks of the Guadalupe River, running for 18 days each May-June and launching the careers of Lyle Lovett, Nanci Griffith, and dozens of other Texas singer-songwriters) to the Guadalupe River's crystal-clear Hill Country water (the Guadalupe River flows through Kerrville providing tubing, kayaking, and trophy trout fishing in some of Texas's most beautiful river scenery) and Kerrville's reputation as a Hill Country retirement and arts destination.
