Victoria, Texas, is the ideal place for those looking for a calm, peaceful home just a short drive from the big city. Known as “The Crossroads,” Victoria is within a two-hour drive of San Antonio, Houston, Austin, and Corpus Christi.
Victoria itself has plenty to keep you close to home, however. The 562- acre Riverside Park on the eastern bank of the Guadalupe River offers the perfect chance to spend time outdoors and enjoy the natural beauty of Victoria. The park has a baseball field, several playgrounds, a disc golf course, and a beautiful rose garden.
Riverside Park also has plenty of marked trails for biking and hiking. Bring your binoculars to spot the many bird species who migrate through the area, as well as armadillos, deer, and more. Another great opportunity to enjoy the nature surrounding Victoria is to kayak, paddleboard, or canoe down the Guadalupe River.
