  • The area around the historical town of Anahuac has ideal habitat for alligators and coastal birds. The Shoveler Pond Loop is one of the best places to see them in the state. If you're interested in viewing alligators, I recommend going on a sunny day when it's at least 60 F outside. This video was recorded in early September.

    Thanks for showing this, live in DFW, but business took me to that area often, and I've got some great photos right along those same trails (always full of water whenever I saw it).

    I would love taking my time and reading all the history and watching the birds. The gaters are cool as well.

      I recommend going all the way down to the Lower Rio Grande Valley. There are several hiking areas like Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge. There are tropical species of birds like the Green Jay that you won't see anywhere else in the US. Plus it is more tropical down there. If you're looking for warmth, avoid north Texas.

    You might not have gotten many shots of gators but you did get some good wildlife. Including the one that buzzed you. As always a good video.

    An interesting view of a landscape that many would not readily associate with the Lone Star State.
    Did you encounter any Snakes there?

    Double Bayou dance hall? Double Bayou is deep where sailors, like me, take their boats far up river and tie up along the banks to party and enjoy life.

    I hear Texas has the 3rd largest Alligator population in America, right behind Florida and Louisiana with the majority of that population concentrated in Southeast Texas bayous!

    Are the trails handicap ♿?

    • @timp8431
      @timp8431 2 роки тому +1

      You should be OK around the shoveler pond loop (where most of the gators are) and also the butterfly garden areas. If I recall correctly the trail behind the main visitors center is handicap accessible and is beautiful.
