Reservations opening for eclipse viewing at state parks

Those hoping to view the total eclipse from a state park location can apply for a State Park day pass reservation for Monday, April 8, with the reservation list opening at 8 a.m. Friday, March 8.

For a day pass, call the Texas State Parks Reservations Center at (512) 389-8900 or go online for all parks, except Enchanted Rock State Natural Area.

Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) will take calls to the reservation line on a first-come, firstserved basis, and the limited number of day passes are expected to go quickly.

TPWD anticipates a high call volume on March 8 and March 11 and asks callers to exhibit patience as agents help answer calls in a timely manner.
