Brazos Bend State Park, 
approximately 28 miles southwest of Houston, covers roughly 5000 acres, with an 
eastern boundary of 3.2 miles fronting on the Brazos River on the southeast 
border of Fort Bend County. This was the area of Texas' first Anglo 
colonization. It was purchased by the state in 1976-77 and was opened to the 
public in 1984.  The Trails hiked 
here are: Prairie Trail, 40 Acre lake Trail, Spillway Trail, Elm Lake Trail, 
Pilant Slough Trail, Bayou Trail, Sawmill Trail & Riverview Trail.
