River Access

The Blanco River Park is a private entity, jointly owned and managed by PHARA and the Paradise Valley Owners Property Association.

Membership in PHARA is voluntary and does not guarantee eligibility for River Park access, because access is granted only to owner/members whose property falls within the original 303.88 acre Carl N. Brinkley Tract. Eligibility for river access is specified in the river park’s Special Warranty Deed, dated 8/9/2000 as recorded in the Hays County official public records. Most member’s property deeds will specify if the owner has park access, however, if you have questions, please ask a board member to check your property against the master plat map for you. 

Annual dues may be paid via Zelle to PHARA.board@gmail.com, or by sending a check to PHARA, PO Box 2225, Wimberley, TX 78676.

When you pay your annual dues, if you are within the River Park Access area, you will receive a badge and key. You may pick up your key from Cliff Raymond, 14 Meridian Drive, Wimberley, TX 78676, or mail him a self addressed, stamped envelope.

The river park is shared with Paradise Valley and access is via a locked gate across from Songbird Rd. Parking is available for members.

Park rules apply at all times.

Sellers of property in Paradise Hills must return their river park key to PHARA, or turn it over to the new owners at closing, as the key and badge are property of PHARA.

Lost or unreturned keys cost $50 to replace. Please email PHARA.board@gmail.com to arrange for a replacement.

The Wimberley Water Advisory Group has monitored both Cypress Creek and the Blanco River near Wimberley for water quality during swim-season for many years. Current water testing results may be found at: The Watershed Association – Bacteria Sampling website.
