Natural Features: Most of the park is in the Brazos River floodplains, but there are also areas of flat upland coastal prairies.
Numerous swales and depressions become freshwater marshes during periods of heavy rain. In addition to the Brazos River,
Big Creek meanders diagonally across the park and is associated with sloughs and cutoff meanders called oxbow lakes.
Other lakes have been created by levees. The creek and riverbanks are lined with sycamore, cottonwood, and black willow.
Campsites and picnicking areas are located among huge, moss-draped live oaks; while trails run along the lakes and through
bottomland hardwood forests.
