Lake Livingston State Park, located in east Texas one hour north of Houston, is one of the largest lakes in Texas, and it is surrounded by pine forests full of birds and animals. It also has banks ideal for swimming or for mooring watercraft. The park’s campsite has full hookups, ten screened shelters that can be rented, and a park store that carries souvenirs, snacks, drinks, and fishing and camping supplies.

The lake has an ample population of white bass, as well as perch, catfish, and crappie. Lucky visitors may spot the nesting bald eagles that live in the park, or they could see several types of woodpeckers, red-shouldered hawks, cormorants, great egrets, or black-crowned night herons. Keep an eye out for alligators and bobcats and your eyes open for the smaller park inhabitants: armadillos, opossums, and southern flying squirrels.
