What a lovely park to walk through while being quarantined during the pandemic. Was packed on the weekends so we went back during the week and it was fairly empty so we felt very comfortable walking around. The views of downtown Houston were beautiful. They had a wonderful sand pit for volleyball, bikes you could rent, lovely artwork spread throughout the property and a wonderful walking path along Buffalo Bayou. All in all, a wonderful place to enjoy the outdoors.

Texas can take pride in being the first state to create a birding trail, serving as a model for other states. The trail is actually a coastal highway that links 310 birding sites and offers kiosks, observation platforms and helpful information to visitors.

I’ve stayed at the Peregrine Townhomes many times, it’s remote location is surrounded by wetlands and the Gulf, and across the bay from the San Bernard Wildlife Refuge. Multitudes of birds, a fantastic spot to rest while exploring the numerous birding locations in the area, and from the balcony! Very comfortable and clean one and two bedroom units. Highly recommend! 10202 Bluewater Highway, at San Luis Pass, 77541 979-239-1515

What a find very close to a very busy vibrant city that is sure to offer you a stressful experience. Parking is cheap...$1.35 per hour. If you’re a member of the Arboretum, parking is free but know your code. Building and rehab efforts are still taking place. Some walking amongst the various paths will give you a welcome change from the hustle and bustle of the city.

We saw a ton of whitetail deer close up, an alligator that was about 8 feet long, a yellow striped snake and a blue heron. That was just one-way. it is about a mile each way end to end. Nice clean concrete trail.

We love this beautiful park that meanders for miles along Buffalo Bayou on the west side. It has several entrances and extends from the Beltway 8 area out to the dam at Highway 6. Parts of it are heavily wooded and other parts have large open meadows. The paved pathways are really nice for walking, running, and biking. There are beautiful wooden bridges and a chance to see herons, egrets, and rabbits. Close to Eldridge there's a pretty gazebo, a playground, restrooms, and a large sun dial that will tell the time. There's even a local bat colony. We like that it never seems crowded, and the location is great for those in the Energy Corridor. You can really get away from the city here and get back to nature.
