Hunt, Texas

Hunt, Texas

Hunt is an unincorporated town in western Kerr County, Texas. It is located in the heart of the Texas hill country (the rugged limestone hills that separate the coastal plain from the Edwards Plateau). It was originally named Japonica; the name was changed for unknown reasons. Hunt sits at the confluence of the North and South Forks of the Guadalupe River. The area around Hunt is home to many fine summer camps each with their own rich history. The camps include Camp Waldemar for girls, Camp Stewart for boys, Camp la Junta for boys, Camp Rio Vista for boys, Camp Sierra Vista for girls, Camp Mystic for girls, Camp Flaming Arrow, and Camp Heart of the Hills for girls.Two of the most popular attractions in the Hunt area, besides swimming in the Guadalupe, are Crider's Rodeo on the South Fork west of Hunt (Saturday nights in the summer) and the recreation of Stonehenge replica that was built on the North Fork north of Hunt. Restaurants are the Hunt Store (burgers) and Elaine's Table (fine dining).
