Lake Somerville was created by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, starting in 1962 and completed in 1967. This 11,630-acre lake, located on Yegua Creek, serves flood control, water supply, and recreational purposes. Managed by TPWD since 1969, the park features Flag Pond, a 350-acre impoundment, and three creeks: Nails Creek, Yegua Creek, and Birch Creek, all flowing into the lake. The area is rich in wildlife, including deer, bobcats, and otters. Biking around the lake offers scenic views and a great spot for a water break.

Brenham, situated in Washington County, offers a rich historical backdrop. Washington County is famed for being the site where the Texas Declaration of Independence was signed on March 2, 1836.

Visit the original home of Dr. Anson Jones, the last President of the Republic of Texas, now a living history farm. Here, period costumed interpreters demonstrate 19th-century farming practices, providing a unique glimpse into Texas' past.

Incredibly impressive railway bridge that is now covered in rust. Worth stopping to marvel at the structure if you're riding in the area.

Loads of Texas colonial history on this site, where many roads met. Large statue of Stephen Austin, the 'father of Texas'. Worth stopping as you ride by.
