Bastrop County, Texas

Bastrop County is east of Austin, Texas. It’s like a slice of old Texas with a modern twist. The county has a rich history, dating back to 1837.
Ever heard of the “Lost Pines”? They’re here. It’s a unique forest of loblolly pines, isolated from the East Texas Piney Woods. Folks come from all over to see ’em. Bastrop State Park is a big draw too.
The Colorado River cuts right through the county, perfect for kayaking or fishing. Barbecue joints and small-town charm? You bet. It’s growing fast, but still feels like home.
