SAN JACINTO: GREAT BATTLE, GREAT BIRDS by Derek Muschalek Located on the eastern edge of Metropolitan Houston, San Jacinto State Park is a great area for seeing coastal species. Although not very aesthetic, this small park packs power when it comes to seeing quality species. This park is located only 22 miles east of downtown Houston along the western edge of the Houston Ship Channel. At present the Lynchburg Ferry is shut down, so that there is no access to the park from 1-10. Take SH225 off 610 South Loop East and turn left on 134, Battleground Road. Birding in the park is good throughout the year, with each season bringing surprises. If you do not want to drive all the way to the coast, a trip to this park is a must.
