Nature Study Look, listen, and enjoy. All you need do is observe. Birding is a favorite activity, especially during spring and fall. From late March to early May hundreds of bird species pass through on their way to northern nesting grounds. Fall migrations occur in October and November.
All programs are by reservation only.
Programs include guided hikes, talks, and guided boat tours and canoe trips. Photography Many Big Thicket photo subjects will be found in deep shade, such as the hundreds of colorful flowers, fungi, and insects. You want a tripod and films rated to give your camera maximum depth field. Boating and Canoeing Small watercraft may be launched at locations along the Neches River, Pine Island Bayou, and along Village and Turkey creeks. Water access points have not been developed on the creeks, but you can launch at most road crossings.
