You'll want to walk along the Lone Star
Hiking Trail and visit the Double Lake Recreational Area or Big Creek Scenic Area in the
Forest for a beautiful view of what Mother Nature has to offer in southeastern Texas.

without traveling the hour's drive south to Houston, the nation's fourth largest city and
one of the country's largest seaports. The Astrodomain in Houston is a sports,
entertainment and convention complex famous for it's Astrodome. AstroHall and AstroArena
