Paradise Canyon on the Medina River offers an abundant array of fishing, boating, camping, and a rustic lodge in a scenic canyon featuring a close walk with nature teeming with ample wildlife. This amazing canyon offers a little place of heaven where some have referred to it as "God's Swimmin' Hole." Lean back in your floating inner tube, close your eyes against the blue sky as the brilliant sun warms your face, and let your back and legs be refreshed in the cool revitalizing waters.

Cheever, Jr. Star Tower, the Scalan Observatory houses a 10-inch refractor telescope and features a 360-degree rotating dome and panel that opens 90 degrees, enabling stargazing in any direction.
