Food
City Market
Luling is home to some of the best barbecue in the Lone Star State, so prepare for a meat coma. City Market is one of Texass most-storied ‘que joints serving up only 3 meats — brisket, sausage, and ribs — and still following a 50-year old tradition of “no forks.” So slather up your meat in the glorious barbecue sauce and prepare to get messy!
Luling Bar-B-Q
Across the street from City Market is Luling Bar-B-Q — a relative new-comer since it’s only been open since 1986 (which still a long time to perfect their recipes!) Stop by for a second barbecue meal of moist brisket, smoked turkey and tender pork loins!


Outdoors
Zedler Mill
To cool off on a summer’s day, head to this renovated mill on the banks of the San Marcos River to splash in one of Texas’s best swimming holes. It’s got everything you need for a perfect afternoon — shade, water and plenty of sun. If you’d rather paddle than swim, you can rent kayaks and canoes on site.
Palmetto State Park
A few miles south of town is a tropical paradise at Palmetto State Park. Filled with Palmetto Palms, this unique state park looks more like a rainforest than a Central Texas park. Check out the diverse wildlife on the trails, dive into the San Marcos River for a refreshing swim or go fishing in Oxbow Lake.


Culture
Luling's Original Farmer's Market
This little town is very well known for its sweet watermelon, and you can buy a few (dozen) when they’re in season at the Luling Farmer’s Market. And if you’re in town the last weekend in June, don’t miss the yearly Watermelon Thump, a festival celebrating all things Watermelon (and there’s even a spitting contest!)
