Take a walk in the Sam Houston National Park

When you stay at Stewart Creek Cottages, you're not just steps away from the water—you’re surrounded by miles of scenic beauty, hiking trails, and peaceful woodlands that offer the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle.

Whether you're an early-morning stroller, an adventurous trekker, or a family looking for outdoor fun, Lake Conroe’s hiking trails and nearby nature parks offer something for everyone.


🌲 Sam Houston National Forest & Lone Star Hiking Trail

One of the best-kept secrets in East Texas is just around the corner. Sam Houston National Forest is one of the four national forests in Texas and a hiker’s dream. With lush piney woods, wildlife sightings, and rolling forested hills, it’s the perfect place to stretch your legs and soak in God's beautiful creation.

The forest is home to the famous Lone Star Hiking Trail, a 129-mile trail—the longest continuous hiking trail in Texas! It weaves through creeks, across bridges, and offers stunning views of Lake Conroe’s northwestern shores. Whether you're in the mood for a quiet nature walk or a full-day hiking adventure, this trail is a must-see.

Bring your binoculars! Bird watchers, deer spotters, and amateur photographers will find plenty of wildlife along the way.


🌳 William Goodrich Jones State Forest

Just a short drive from Stewart Creek Cottages, William Goodrich Jones State Forest is ideal for families and anyone seeking peaceful green space with a touch of education. This working urban forest features well-marked trails, wildlife habitat areas, and even a pond perfect for reflection or reading your favorite devotional.

It’s a haven for wildlife lovers—especially those hoping to catch a glimpse of the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker, which nests in the tall pines. Trails here are flat and well-kept, perfect for children or casual walkers.


🌼 Fish Creek Park

Tucked away in the Woodforest community, Fish Creek Park is another hidden gem for outdoor enthusiasts. This quiet park offers winding walking trails, shaded picnic areas, and an easy-to-navigate layout perfect for a relaxing afternoon.

Take a peaceful walk with a loved one, enjoy a lakeside picnic, or sit in stillness while watching the water. Fish Creek Park offers a slower pace that feels worlds away from the busy lakeside marinas.


🌞 Your Outdoor Getaway Starts Here

When you stay at Stewart Creek Cottages, nature is right at your doorstep. After a day of hiking, come back to your cozy cottage, relax on the porch, and enjoy the serene sounds of Lake Conroe. Whether you're here for adventure, rest, or a bit of both, the trails around Lake Conroe are waiting to be explored.
