Brazos Bend

Peaceful place for a hike, lots of choices for distance/routes. We went yesterday and only saw one gator in Elm Lake but we didnt hike the entire loop, just half mile to observation pad then went back same way. Get your state park pass and make reservations online, so easy and makes the entrance process quicker.

Honestly it was so peaceful, trails are very well maintained, easy walking and very refreshing, staff were so nice and pleasant, sadly I only saw 1 gator but it's a memory that will last a lifetime, truly enjoyed being there

I absolutely loved it here. It's the first state park I've been to in Texas, and I can't wait to return for more photography opportunities!! The place is incredibly well-maintained--at least the paths I've walked--and I truly admire the respect for the wildlife here. It's a massive park compared to the areas I'm used to in New Jersey, and it's well worth it to spend a day here.

Absolutely beautiful park and a great escape from the city! Brazos Bend State Park is one of the best parks I’ve visited in Texas. The trails are peaceful, clean, and surrounded by nature, you can see tons of birds, deer, and even a few alligators from a safe distance. The park is very well-maintained, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Perfect for hiking, biking, or just relaxing by the water. I loved how easy it was to spot wildlife without feeling unsafe, and the camping areas are clean and quiet with plenty of space. If you go, bring a camera and some bug spray, and visit early in the morning or near sunset for the best experience. Highly recommend for families, nature lovers, or anyone who just wants to disconnect and enjoy a bit of peace in the outdoors.

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
