    Great trails, parks, and surrounding areas! Plenty of places to boat, including an island!

    Still beautiful, I hadnโ€™t been out to Lake Houston in years. Nice place to take the boat and hangout with friends. We had a jetSki which is always fun on a hot day. There were not many people out fishing. But I hear the lake has been stocked with largemouth bass, palmetto bass, striped bass, and catfish. Most people were tubing, wakeboarding or floating in the water by their boat. We didnโ€™t see any police or Texas game warden. A new intake pump station has been built on the lake itโ€™s definitely an eyesore. This is the main drinking water for Houston. Iโ€™m sure the people who live on the lake donโ€™t care for this in their backyard. Overall Lake Houston is still a great place to get away for the weekend. The birds in the morning fly in the the thousands, be careful if driving a boat try not get too close. You could stress out the birds. There are a lot of places to eat in town. Thereโ€™s also a great park on the other side of the lake, called Lake Houston Wildness Park. If you have time check out this too. Enjoy your time on the lake!

    Nice lake to take a cruise on or fish all day for small bass, medium croppie, small hybrids and large catfish. Water is usually calm. Best boat launch is Ponderosa.

    Visiting part of the lake that I remember from childhood & things have definitely changed. Developments filling in around this scenic area and plenty of choice restaurants around, with some shopping as well. ๐Ÿ™‚

    I have been to this park for many many years. Itโ€™s always clean the folks who work there are very helpful and know their jobs well. I plan to do a few overnight trips in the very near future

    It's a Houston lake so keep the water cleanliness in mind.

    Too much violence in this area to have any fun.

  • 5/5 Chris S. 2 years ago on Google
    Well, I actually went to East End Park which is along the edge of Lake Houston. It is a nice park but don't swim as there are alligators there

    Great place to take a load off and watch the waves ebb and flow.
