Bastrop, Tx is a small but quickly growing city about 30 miles Southeast of Austin, Tx and is part of the Greater Austin Metropolitan area. It’s known nationally for the devastating wildfires that occurred in 2011 when some trees fell on power lines, however it is recovering nicely. What most people don’t know is that there are a lot of cool things to see and do in Bastrop. While I may be a little biased below are a few of my top things to do in Bastrop Tx
