Brazos Bend State Park

This is one of many times I have visited this state park. I can say nothing but good things about it. We booked the shelter for this visit and they turned out to be a great idea especially with this unpredictable weather. Good point to transition if you are willing to camp primitive and for some reason cannot commit. The sowers and restroom were excellent. Hot water shower is a lifesaver. Don’t forget to walk the trails. Children park is decent. Organized parking and enough signs for trails

This state park was such an adventure! We took our two kids (5 & 1) it felt safe and the rangers were very kind and also very informative of the park. The gift shop offers you to pet a baby alligator and snakes! We loved the trails and we definitely saw some gators! The tower was awesome! I highly recommend visiting!

The park has so many trails with various views. Had a great time hiking. There were plenty of benches along the way to take breaks. The park staff was super friendly and always asked if we needed help with anything. We stayed in a covered shelter. It was clean and well maintained. Had a wonderful time, and we hope to go back soon.

Brazos Bend State Park is an absolute gem for family outdoor adventures! My son and I had an unforgettable day filled with fun activities and amazing nature experiences. We kicked off our visit by riding bikes along the park's scenic trails. The paths were well-maintained and offered beautiful views of the landscape, making it a perfect ride for both kids and adults. After our bike ride, we decided to try our luck at fishing. To our delight, we caught 18 perch! It was such a thrill for my son to reel them in, and we enjoyed every moment of it. One of the highlights of our trip was feeding the turtles. It was not only entertaining but also educational, as we learned more about these fascinating creatures. We also brought along a Frisbee and a football, which kept the fun going as we played games on the open grassy areas. Our visit wouldn’t be complete without stopping by the park store, where we bought a sturdy hiking stick and a fun sticker as souvenirs. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, adding to the overall positive experience! Another unforgettable moment was getting up close with a couple of baby alligators. It was such a thrilling experience for my son to pet them under supervision, making for some great photos and lasting memories! Overall, Brazos Bend State Park is a fantastic destination for families. It offers a perfect mix of outdoor activities, education, and plenty of fun. We can’t wait to return and explore more of what this beautiful park has to offer! Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a day of adventure in nature. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

If you enjoy the outdoors, Brazos Bend State Park is a great spot close to Houston. There’s a small entrance fee, and you can go hiking and cycling there. There is a nature center where you can see small alligators and snakes. park is home to alligators and a variety of birds. Most of the alligators tend to stay hidden underwater, so they can be hard to spot fully. There's also a small wooden observation deck, and the surroundings are beautiful. However, summer is not the best time to visit due to the heat.

Excellent state park to spend a day with the family. Great staff and tour guides. A small museum with baby alligators. Nice facilities with playgrounds, restrooms, picnic areas, observation tower, hiking and biking trails. In spring and fall when it’s not too hot, can see alligators. To monitor birds, mornings are the best. With $7 admission fee per adult it’s a must visit place for those who live in the greater Houston area.

I've been to a lot of state parks throughout the state, this one is one of my top favorites. I wouldn't recommend it for the hotter months due to not being able to swim in the lakes due to alligators. Very well kept park very quiet. The campsites are beautiful, walking trails are well maintained and lots of wildlife to see. Then there's the alligators which is really the highlight of this park.

Went for a hike at @brazosbendstatepark. such a great spot for Hiking, Biking, Fishing and picnicking. Multiple trails that you can take, great atmosphere, many animals can be seen including alligators, just overall a great spot for nature lovers.
