He gave me a tour, and encouraged me to come by anytime. Triathletes are permitted before and after hours, and he instructed me on how to pay the $10 entry. Park hours were 10a-5p when I went but you can swim anytime. You can pay via QR code or cash. You do need to sign a waiver, but only once. Your first time I recommend stopping by during hours. There is a place to rinse off. There were several other swimmers when I was there. I felt safe and comfortable the entire time. The best part was the water! It was warm of course given the time of year but it was beautiful. I much prefer this to Lake Longhorn. Two laps is 1.2mi, four is 2.4.

It is a real gem tucked away on the back roads of Brazoria County. The beautiful great room includes a reception area with a fireplace surrounded by ample seating, a piano and a lovely vaulted ceiling. Attached is a Texas style dining room that can easily be dressed up for a formal event or dressed down for more casual. The Lodge also offers guest rooms for extended events, and has a lovely fire pit surrounding by bench seating by the lake closest to the buildings. I am told this cozy retreat books up well in advance and it is easy to see why! I love The Lodge.

The trail was paved but not always the same width. Some parts were narrower than others. I saw warning signs for the cyclists to give room for pedestrians.

I would love to return on a sunny day in the summer.

Arriving at Seabourne Creek, I definitely hit the jackpot. There are beautiful paths to walk along with a nice little lake to fish. Birds, butterflies and everything more a entire preserve needs. The downfall is, me and my pup got there at noon when the sun was out strong. My boy couldn't be out long so we ended up staying for 40 mins just exploring. Kind of a bummer since it took an hour to get there. Definitely a great place to visit when the heat isn't a factor. I have to come back and visit during the morning hours.

I was feeling a bit beaten down by the urban sprawl so taking advantage of my school holiday I…read morerandomly chose brazoria for a visit. It did not disappoint at all!! I read online that the best time to visit is around dusk or dawn, but we only managed to make it around 2pm, so we decided to head on to Galveston and come back around dusk. It's quite remote so be sure to fuel up (nearest gas station is around 20 miles away). Around 2pm we drove thru the gate and after driving about 3 miles we encountered the discovery center. We got out and walked around. There is a paved hiking path around the discovery center which takes you through some of the freshwater marshland and a "songbird hike". The paved path disappears after a few hundred feet and you are left to bushwhack through the remainder of the hiking path. Because of the heat (most of this area is in direct sun) and aggressive mosquitos we turned around after the paved area and went back to the car. However, the calls of many songbirds were audible. From this point you can keep driving and go on the auto tour, pay attention to the signage which directs you into the 7mile auto tour loop. You can pull off at any time on the auto tour to get out and enjoy the view! Because the road here is not paved, I don't recommend driving faster than 10 mph as that kicks up a lot of dust which gets all over your car. At the end of the tour, you can check out "Roger's pond" which is a brackish pond. The highlight of the tour is the salt marshes which you can see around the first couple miles of the loop. After Roger's pond, you have to turn around, then you can take the refuge exit paths to leave the refuge. The gates to the refuge close at dusk and open at dawn-- we cut it close on our return trip and left around 7:30, but we were still able to escape successfully. We saw a lot more wildlife in the salt marshes upon our return, including lots of roseate spoonbills and egrets. However there were a lot of mosquitos at dusk so definitely wear long pants and long sleeves to avoid being eaten up!

Don't let the seemingly small size of this park fool you, because it's deceptively large and it's…read moreeasy to get turned around in it, especially when it starts getting dark, so if you go in the late afternoon, it would be good to have a flash-light and a little extra water...just in case you get lost! Part of the issue is that the official maps and what's on google maps is very incomplete. There are a lot of other paths that aren't on the map that just kind of appear. If you don't cross over any bridges, you'll be inside the official part of the park and worst case, you just circle back around, but if you do go over that Crossover bridge, you'll be treated to some nice hiking, but there is no other way to circle back around because the 2nd bridge will put you in the "uncharted" part of the park and take you to the Pumpkin Lakes and you will have to come back the same way you came. This is kind of a shame and hopefully in time, they'll add another pedestrian bridge near Red Gully Lookout, but hey, you're there to walk so this is a way to walk more! For some reason, even though this is right next to an airport and a large suburban neighborhood, the GPS keeps going wonky too so don't count on that too much. This was my first visit with some other people who had never visited the park so I think we all became experts in the park and won't get turned around next time but a few extra signs wouldn't have hurt to help newcomers.
