Seminole Canyon State Park and Historic Site is a state park in Texas. It is located off U.S. Route 90, east of the Pecos River High Bridge, 9 miles west of Comstock in Val Verde County. Which means it's miles from nowhere, the closest big city is San Antonio, about 200 miles away. It is very close to the Mexican border and parts of the Rio Grande flow through the park. There are 43 campsites but only 23 have electric and water, the rest are primitive sites. There are restrooms with showers.                      There are trails around the canyon for hiking and biking but you can only hike into the canyon with a guide. The area is famous for it's pictographs, rock art thought to be left by the indigenous people of the area 7000 years ago.
