Review & FAQ:
Taking its name from a former state governor who championed its creation, Sam Houston Jones State Park is modeled on the premise that the area should remain as untouched and close to its natural state as possible, and with this in mind the park has maintained a rustic and unblemished charm.
Visitors can stroll along one of three trails in the park that offer both relaxing and more strenuous hiking activities, and the park’s natural state provides excellent opportunities for bird watching, which is a common pastime here, and it is said that up to 200 species of birds exist in the region. For those who want to take to the water, there are boating options on the ponds that dot the park, as well as fishing opportunities in some areas.
