Garner is divided into 2 sections: Old Garner and New Garner - both sections are along the Frio River. Old Garner is the Pecan Grove and Oakmont areas; considered premium due to demand. Concessions and recreational activities are in this area: grocery store, mini-golf, paddleboats, dance pavilion and river dam with deepest swimming areas. Concessions are open seasonally - Memorial Day through Labor Day and some weekends. New Garner is the Live Oak, Cypress Springs, Rio Frio, Shady Meadows, River Crossing, and Persimmon Hill areas; considered regular. It is more secluded away from the concessions/activity area.
