Our tent setting program last night went great! Around 15 participants came out to practice and refine their tent setting skills as well as enjoyed some s'mores by the campfire!

Hey everyone! This is Ranger Eric. I just wanted to get on here and let everyone know that the lights at the fishing pier are going to be off tonight. If you still want to go fishing, feel free to, just be aware that the pier will not be lit as it usually is. Have a good one y'all!

Hey everyone! This is Ranger Eric. A very common sight this time of year is to see turtles making their nests in very, what most would consider, odd places. In this video, we learn why this happens and what to do if you see it happening. I hope y'all enjoy and learn from the video!

Hey everyone! This is Ranger Eric. Have y'all ever heard of the Mud Snake?? In this video, y'all will get to meet one of the most seldom seen snakes in all of east Texas, the Western Mud Snake (Farancia abacura reinwardtii). Unlike many other snakes in the Livingston area, this species is highly specialized in more ways than one. I hope y'all enjoy and learn from this video I put together!

Hey everyone! This is Ranger Eric. I hate to say it, but due to the high chance of inclement weather tomorrow, I’m going to have to cancel both the kayaking program at 10AM and the night hike at 8PM. Snakes at 3PM is still on at the Park Store/Nature Center. Sorry for the unfortunate news everyone!

Hey everyone! This is Ranger Eric.

I am collaborating with SPCA of Polk County on the 20th this month for a really cool program! SPCA will be bringing some of their dogs from the shelter out to the park for a walk along the Pineywoods Boardwalk Trail. The public is welcome to come and walk some of SPCA's dogs during the hike!

We will be meeting at the Pineywoods Boardwalk Trailhead and the hike will begin at 10AM and last around an hour!

Collars and leashes will be provided by them, so no need to bring your own!

I will be guiding the hike to teach visitors about the park and our resources along the way.

Dogs will be walked by visitors on a first come first serve basis, but if all dogs are being walked by visitors upon arrival, you are still more than welcome to hike with us!

It will be at the discretion of SPCA's staff to decide which dogs will be the best fit for each visitor to walk.

If you connect with any of the dogs and wish to adopt one, you can do so following the hike at SPCA of Polk County, which is only a 10 minute drive from the park!

Please note, it is NOT permitted for visitors to bring their own dogs on this hike!

Let us know in the comments if you are interested in coming and we hope to see y'all there!
