On the recreation side, the renowned Guadalupe River provides a scenic backdrop to six miles of trails that wind through the community. Kerrville is also home to 26 parks, including Louise Hays Park, which is located along the river. “So much of our lifestyle is centered around the river, the water, the outdoors, the parks,” Mayor Eychner affirms. Since Kerrville’s beginnings, the river has been a significant part of the story of the community, and still is today, as Todd Bock, Kerrville Economic Development Council (KEDC) President, adds, “The Guadalupe River was the foundation for the founding of Kerrville. A gentleman by the name of Joshua Brown went on an expedition and ran across those beautiful cypress trees on the riverbanks, settled Kerrville downtown, and developed a shingle factory. Since then, having a river running through the center of town is one of the major assets that the city has leaned into, for a lot of our growth, our tourism.” A recent milestone and point of pride for Kerrville is the completion of the 2050 comprehensive plan, which Eychner says has provided a road map for the future. “It was a KERRVI LLE , TE XAS
