O.K. Houston Folks...... - 06-19-2009, 11:09 PM


I know it is late on Friday night and this is last minute, but I am making a trip to Houston in the morning (from Shreveport, LA). I need suggestions on the best (1) park to visit for wildlife photos while I am in the Houston area. I will probably be spending the night tomorrow, but want to get the most out of my time there. I am not very familiar with the area (I have been to Houston 2 times in my life for business). Anyone awake out there, please provide input----it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help.

The best spot if you want wildlife (other than the obvious zoo) is Brazos Bend State Park. Check it out at http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/spdest/f...s/brazos_bend/.

Normally plenty of gators and water fowl. If you do go just park your car at the 40 Acre Lake parking lot and hit the walking trail back to Elm Lake.

If you want to see sample shots just search BBSP on TPF and you'll find plenty of examples. Have fun whatever you do!

Thanks for the quick response, Greg. That is the park I had in mind, but I just wanted to get a consensus from the late night locals.
