Join us and Texas Wildlife Association for an overnight fish and float camping excursion on the Colorado River. Established in 1847, the Trigg Ranch is a six-generation working cattle farm located in Bastrop County. The Trigg Ranch is opening its gates to allow us this unique opportunity to camp along its shoreline.
