Calling all stargazers and nature lovers! Brazos Bend State Park in Needville, Texas appeals to both camps, offering nearly 40 miles of trails that meander through lush wetlands and forests in addition to a world-class observatory. This underrated state park is perfect for a family adventure, so if you have yet to visit (or even if you’ve already been!), I highly suggest adding it to your bucket list.

Visit the Texas Parks & Wildlife website for more information about Brazos Bend State Park, including current hours of operation and entrance fees. You can also visit Tentrr if you’re interested in camping in the park.
