Lost Maples is a very special area of some 2,000 acres set aside for the protection of the largest single forest of Bigtooth Maple trees in Texas. The forest is tucked in and around a "hidden" canyon and along the Sabinal river. Many come from miles in Texas to experience the fall colors as the leaves of the Maple trees turn color. A few other trees including some Oak trees also join in the display of fall beauty.
