Review:
Unlike many other state parks in the area around Houston, Brazos Bend State Park is not a beachfront stretch of land. Still, there is much to see here, especially for nature lovers. Located only a short 50-minute drive from the city, this state park has several trails that allow visitors to take in the sights and sounds of the Texas wetlands.
The Creekfield Lake Nature Trail is a completely paved trail with viewing platforms and educational resources such as bronzes of the park’s most famous animal residents. This trail is a short half-mile long, but several other biking, hiking, and horseback riding routes provide a deeper look at the wetlands—and the chance to meet some alligators.
