Trail Notes

What we noticed on the ground

In June of 2019 We Loaded up Ms V Our V and headed out into the Big Thicket in South East Texas. Located on the shores of BA Steinhagen Lake, Martin Dies JR State Park is a haven for campers, wildlife boaters, Aligators, big fish and relaxed children. Martin Dies JR State Park is a large facility and straddles Texas State Highway 190 on both sides of the lake. With no less than 5 different boat ramps this is truly a boating and fishing paradise! Do not be surprised if you run across an alligator or two, I saw at least three different ones while bank fishing from the bank at my camp site.
