Brazos Bend State Park


This is our first visit to this park. The claim to fame is the alligators and birding. The Everglades National Park is better, but this park is pretty amazing and a complete surprise. The alligators we saw were anywhere from 3 feet to roughly 8 feet.

Lots of alligators along the paths. The funny part is we all see fake animals set up for a photo op so when you see an alligator laying along the path with its mouth open and not moving, you tend to think it’s not real. Several people mentioned this happened to them plus we saw people jump as they realized a real live alligator was only a few feet away.
