Traveled west of Houston to get our hiking legs working. Gym workouts are just not the same. With an upcoming Utah Mighty 5 Hiking Adventure approaching, the need to enjoy the great outdoors (especially while we are experiencing low temps and humidity) was on my brain.
The hiking trails in Stephen F Austin State Park are quite pedestrian. Many trails were closed along the Brazos River due to recent rains but there were still plenty of trails to enjoy. Some trails were designated "moderate" but that may be to make people who do not hike often aware of terrain changes.
We hiked right beside a golf course and around a campground, but few people were out and that suited us just fine for a Thursday in this area. There are plenty of restroom facilities and picnic tables and even benches along the trails. So this is a very family friendly fun area to spend the day. A nice day hike park.
Lovely wooded canopy trail.

| The Brazos River typically has this color due to soil in this area. |

| Nice bridges over most creeks and streams. |
