The Official Park Brochure
Due to the high cost of printing these full-color brochures, we do not mail this brochure out in information requests. The Map & Guide brochure is intended for in-park use and is not as useful for trip planning; the Big Bend Paisano park newspaper is a much better resource for trip planning.
The official park brochure is not available in digital format. You may download a text-only version [38k PDF File]. The map used in this brochure is available here [896k PDF File].
