Lake Cove RV Resort

The Great Outdoors

For a guided introduction to the local landscape, head to Armand Bayou Nature Center in Pasadena. With several guided hiking options, as well as a kayak tour, visitors can learn a lot about the local habitats and ecosystems. There is also an authentic 1800's farm site on location, where you can learn about the pioneers and how they adapted to the landscape. If you’re feeling particularly daring, sign up for one of the night hikes to experience the habitat in a completely different atmosphere.Need a beach day? Head to Galveston Island State Park. It’s one of the island’s best-kept secrets. At this peaceful park, you can relax while listening to the waves crash on the sandy shores. If you’d rather do a little exploring, the park spans the entire width of the island. Hike to the bay portion of the park and explore the trails that wind through the salt marshes. You can even test your luck at some local fishing.Back on the mainland is the Brazos Bend State Park in Needville, Texas. The Brazos River is one of Texas’ most famous rivers, having nurtured some of Texas’ earliest settlements. Today, this main thoroughfare has become a recreational haven, particularly along the protected stretch at the state park. Visitors can go fishing, explore the trails that wind along with the river, and likely spot an alligator sunning itself on the banks or a river otter playing in the weeds. If you venture into the forest, you just might catch a glimpse of a white-tailed deer, bobcat, or fox. The lush wetland landscape is a playground for animals and humans alike.
