About Sam Houston Jones State Park

Where the Houston River meets the Calcasieu River and Indian Bayou, this 1,087-acre park spreads across woodlands, lakes and rivers shaped by the confluence of these waterways. Bald cypress trees stand throughout the grounds, and tree-filled lagoons mix with pine and hardwood forest to form the park's landscape. Ducks and geese swim in the ponds, part of a setting that also includes deer, bobcats, alligators, otters and nutria rats among its wildlife.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
