It's a beautiful trail activity. The big bummer is that you can't tour the house. And no bikes. But if you want a really neat walk. Yes it's great. Also the treatment of the staff is great too

When I was told that this is the most beautiful nature park/sanctuary in the valley, I was a bit surprised since I had never even heard of it. After going today though, I can safely say that sabal palm is absolutely the most gorgeous natural area in the entire RGV. A biome so unique, it's completely breathtaking and I found myself just stopping and looking around at the scenery, losing myself in this forest of gigantic sabal palm trees. The environment is so incredibly varied, with the sabal palm forests clearly being the main focus, but other micro-biomes being present in the trails surrounding the main forest. From resacas, lakes, marshes, mesquite forrests to sandy riverbanks, this park has everything. There are amazing views of the Rio Grande from this park and it is very possible to walk all of the trails in one day. It took me about 3.5 hours to walk the 10.3 km of trails. To top it off, there are several gardens and birs feeders around the park, with a beautiful victorian-style plantation at the entrance! Admission is 5 and believe me it is worth every single penny. I only encountered two other people during my walk today, definitely a great place to relax and enjoy nature away from other people.

The lady outside working on the grounds was very friendly and working hard on the gardens. When we arrived to the house the office was closed for lunch so we sat on the beautiful veranda. When the worker came back he rudely banged on the glass at us to come in. \How can I help you\ in ugly tone when we came in. We only stuck around so we could pay our fees, sorry we were bothering him lol . \Anything else?\ Guess he was having a bad day. Once we payed we did a self tour of the trails, beautiful grounds and historic home (downstairs only). We took several of the very well marked trails. Saw two of the bird blinds and walked the boardwalk trail over the wetlands. The Palms are just gorgeous and we saw lots of birds. I don't think we will go back but glad we got to see it once and that this beautiful preserve is being cared for.

Quiet place to get away. Trails were a bit short but several blinds allowed us to see quite a bit of the wildlife and birds. Worth seeing if you are in the area.

Really interesting habitat that's not found many places anymore. The gardens are a work in progress, and the map doesn't always accurately reflect the trails, but we thoroughly enjoyed the wildlife. Can rent binoculars in the new visitor center (which is an old plantation house). Nice lookout over the Rio Grande.
