Question: What is the smallest state park in Texas?

Answer: Old Tunnel State Park south of Fredericksburg at the site of an abandoned train tunnel dug in 1913. After the company that operated the Hill Country route went out of business in 1942, the tunnel became home to millions of Mexican free-tailed bats. Visitors can watch the bats emerge at sunset to hunt for insects nearly every evening between May and October. Although seating is limited, it’s considered one of the best “bat shows” in the state.
