'Round About Never
Creekfield Lake at Brazo's Bend State Park is simply beautiful. I've seen it in all of the so-called seasons, and I think it is at its prettiest during the fall. Makes you want to get into a boat or float on a raft on its waters, doesn't it?
DON'T! There creatures lurking there that have very long, pointy teeth and who would enjoy a little (or big) bite of you. And, they usually see you first.
A little blurb about Brazos Bend:
Brazos Bend State Park, a 5,000-acre gem on the Upper Texas Coast, is just 40 miles from downtown Houston and offers a wide variety of activities for every age: biking, fishing, hiking, birding, camping, star-gazing, and opportunities to learn about Texas’ bountiful natural history via free programs and guided hikes.
The park’s scenic terrain has been carved gently over time by the vigorous Brazos River, which marks its eastern boundary. Fragments of the ancient coastal prairie survive here as do dense bottomland hardwood forests and extensive marshes, making ideal habitats for the American alligator and a rich diversity of other reptiles, amphibians, and mammals. The park is an important refuge for birds, with more than 300 species recorded, and wildflowers abound during the warmer months, drawing a wealth of butterflies.
