Paradise RV Park

The Great Outdoors

Around an hour’s drive east of Paradise RV Park is the Sam Houston National Forest, which sprawls across more than 160,000 acres on the edge of Lake Livingston. It’s home to a vast network of hiking trails, including the longest continuously marked footpath in Texas, the Lone Star Hiking Trail. Canoes and paddleboats can be rented to explore the waters of Double Lake while fishing is possible at Lake Conroe and Lake Livingston.En route to the Sam Houston National Forest is Lake Conroe, a 21,000-acre water body in Montgomery County. It lies on the west fork of the San Jacinto River. It has become a popular destination for boating, jet-skiing, and fishing. In addition to its water sports, restaurants, marinas, residential communities and golf courses also dot the shores.Camping at Paradise RV Park is a good base for visiting Somerville Lake, a reservoir that was built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on Yegua Creek. It was originally impounded in 1967 to provide flood control and irrigation water but has since become a popular recreational destination for Somerville residents. It’s well-stocked with largemouth bass, bluegill, catfish, and black crappie while being surrounded by rolling grasslands and prairie that can be explored on foot. The main hubs for recreation are Rocky Creek Park and Yegua Creek Park, both of which hug the southern shores.
