Lake Houston Wilderness Park is a spacious 4,786-acre park in New Caney, serving as the only park within the City of Houston parks system to offer overnight camping facilities. The park was originally developed as Peach Creek Girl Scout Camp in the mid-2oth century and purchased in increments by the city throughout the 1980s and 1990s for use as part of Lake Houston State Park. Since 1996, the park has been overseen by the city's parks and recreation department. Though access to Lake Houston is no longer offered, visitors can enjoy more than 20 miles of multi-use trails throughout the park, open to hikers, bikers, and equestrian riders. Walk-in campsites and overnight rental cabins are available for visitor reservation.
