This is a small series for a park that has nearly everything! No pass or entrance fee required.This series is only available during park hours. Sheldon Lake State Park Website
Only 15 miles from downtown Houston, this 3,200 acre "green and blue island' of a state park is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of life in Houston. Open for day use, the Environmental Learning Center (ELC) features a fish hatchery "gone wild", a mile of wheelchair-accessible trails, and LEED-certified facilities demonstrating green architecture and alternative energy at work.
Don't miss taking a bird's eye view of Sheldon Lake and the prairie and wetlands (currently being restored) from the John Jacob Observation tower. This striking 82-foot, elevator-accessible observation deck rises above the landscape to provide dramatic panoramas of the lake and surrounding marsh, and all the way to the Houston skyline. YOU MIGHT WANT TO TAKE IN THE VIEW FROM THE 47 FOOT ELEVATION.
SLSP IS AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE YOU WILL SEE WILDLIFE - ALLIGATORS, SNAKES, AND OTHER TEXAS SPECIES. Come prepared for the experience but remember not to feed, attempt to capture, or otherwise annoy the animals.
Congrats to RamJam and Skoolz for FTF!
