Where Can I Find The Best Bluebonnet Fields in Texas?

Bluebonnet photo sessions are what spring in Texas is all about. It's time to dress up the fam, grab the dog, and head out to find a big field of bluebonnets for a family photo sesh!

So, where can you find the best bluebonnet fields in Texas?

KXAN recently shared a stellar list of places to go if you're all about those beautiful blue fields, most of which, I've sadly never been to. I'll have to change that soon. In the meantime, let's see if you've been to any of these great places to find that sweet sweet bluebonnet action...

According to their article, visitors and residents in Northeast Texas should head over to the Caddo Lake Bayous of Texarkana, and the east Texas piney woods for an amazing display of wildflowers. There are 40 miles connecting Linden, Hughes Springs, and Avinger known as the Wildflower Trails of Texas, where you can find an array of lovely flowers, many of which are bluebonnets. Other spots in the region that are mentioned include Karnack, Marshall, and Atlanta, all known for impressive wildflower displays.

If you are in the Houston area, Brazos Bend State Park is a fantastic place to see bluebonnets. I used to visit Brazos Bend several times a year and I can vouge for the epic flowers and wildlife. Watch out for gators! KXAN also mentions something called the "bluebonnet loop", where drivers headed from Brenham to Burton, Washington, Independence, and Chappell Hill can enjoy a plethora of bluebonnets along the route.

The San Antonio region just might be the best place to find bluebonnets, especially in DeWitt County. They've been referred to by experts as the "Wildflower Capital of Texas". Also, west of San Antonio in Bandera County, the Bandera Loop, which crosses the Medina and Sabinal Rivers, showcases acre upon acre of bluebonnets.

The Texas Hill Country, near Fredericksburg, is also a nice place to hop out of your car and snag some photos with big beautiful bluebonnets. If you've been looking for an excuse to drive to Fredericksburg for a taste of that delicious German food, bluebonnet hunting is a good one.

The last place mentioned in their article is a 230-mile loop that cuts through Alpine, Terlingua, Lajitas, Presidio, and Marfa. They say you can find massive bluebonnets there, even larger than those in the Texas Hill Country.

Also, before you go out there and enjoy all of the bluebonnets in Texas this spring, you might like to review the dos and don'ts of bluebonnet picking. You'll find them below. Happy Spring!
