Commune with nature at W. Goodrich Jones State Forest outside of Conroe. Purchased in 1926 and named for the Father of Texas Forestry, 1,722 acres provide a large expanse of green space and natural habitat for wildlife.
Currently owned and administered by Texas A&M Forest Service, the Forest’s mission is conservation and education. Many visitors come for bird watching, especially from mid-March through late July during the Red-cockaded Woodpecker’s nesting season. The park provides essential habitat for this endangered species.
Visitors can also enjoy hiking, biking, and horseback riding on 15 miles of trails.
