Resaca De La Palma State Park & World Birding Center — Attraction in Cameron Park

We had an exciting adventure of nature walk. Just my son and I. BUT, SOMETHING happened to me (the DAD). I'll tell you later! This place has a charge or donation fee. I believe it's $4 starting at age 14 or 16 years old and older, 12 or 14 years old free admission. There're choices to choose from nature walk; 1. renting bikes 2. walking 3. Take the shuttle ride tour. The trail are long and cuts off from the path. We are in the summer heat so you will sweat alot. Lot's of thing to watch out for so be extra careful. Follow all rules and signs to the letter! You been WARN. Our most fun part were looking for signs of animal track and determine what kind of animal would make those tracks. This is a bird watch habitual with other wild life around. I wish i can tell you more but you need to come by and EXPERIENCE this nature walk the hiking grounds. Anyways, I couldn't walk any further because I wasn't prepare for this hiking nature walk. I suffer from back pain problems to knee pain. My knees were hurting so much that I had to make the call to be picked up (shuttle van)in the nature trial. We were rescued. I've told them there're my heros. Two volunteer rangers helper found us and gave us a tour. That was awesome of them. Things you might consider to take; Packback, water, small snack(do not litter)pocket knive, towels for the over sweating. And like always, enjoy at...

I visited Resaca De La Palma State Park in Brownsville, Texas, and it was a wonderful experience. The park is part of the World Birding Center and is managed by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. At 1,200 acres, it is the largest of the World Birding Center sites and offers a unique glimpse into the natural beauty of the area. The park features a variety of trails that are perfect for hiking, biking, and birdwatching. The resaca, a type of oxbow lake, winds through the park and provides a serene backdrop for outdoor activities. The trails are well-maintained and offer a mix of paved and natural paths, making them accessible for all skill levels. One of the highlights of my visit was the opportunity to see a diverse range of wildlife. The park is home to many species of birds, butterflies, and other local wildlife. The staff at the park were incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, providing insights into the local ecosystem and the importance of conservation efforts. Overall, Resaca De La Palma State Park is a must-visit for anyone who loves nature and outdoor activities. Whether you're a local or just passing through, you'll appreciate the beauty and serenity of...

This is a terrific place to visit to see nature. I would suggest going anytime but the middle of summer like we did. The heat at times is unbearable. There is much to see here and a lot of diversity. I'm sure it will be so much better in cooler weather so we will be sure to come back. If you like birds there should be many here during migration and when the Resacas are full of water. When we were there they were all dry or almost dry. In spite of the weather we did see quite a few birds and some of the rarer ones that come up from Mexico. There are also hundreds of Butterflies that you see everywhere you look. They have some great trails to walk and you can also rent bikes to ride on them. There is a tram that takes you around the park. It's about a 3 mile loop and costs $4. The driver is very knowledgeable about the area and will give you details about the flora and fauna all around. There is a very well stocked and nice gift shop inside and very...
