Back Pedaling–Brazos Bend

Back in early May, we went to Brazos Bend.  It’s a state park located just south of Sugarland, TX.  Brazos Bend is known for being the alligator park.  It is a pretty large piece of land with camp sites and bike riding trails, but we just hit up its main lake.  We were glad we went fairly early in the day because it was so hot! It took a while until we spotted our first gator. By the end, we were good at spotting them in the water. We saw several ranging from about 2 feet to 6 feet. They were right along our pathway!
