It's incredible how many alligators, both large and small, you can observe here, and how close they are!

Climb the tower and enjoy unforgettable views of sunsets, sunrises, marshes, lakes and wetlands.

This somewhat fantastical-looking wooden observation tower rises three stories above the lake. Since the land bridges that lead out to the tower are so thin, it's easy to immerse yourself in the view and picture what the area would have looked like before humans. Shaded benches and an informational signboard sit at the base of the tower.

The Oyser Creek Loop Trail is one of several trails in Cullinan Park.

Hale Lake is an oxbow lake that has been cut off from Big Creek, a tributary of the Brazos River. Trails explore the lake in full, allowing you to get closer to nature in this beautiful part of Texas. Alligators can often be found here – make sure you do not approach or feed them.

This is a lovely wetland environment in the Brazos Bend State Park. Trails circle the lake, allowing you to view the wildlife that inhabits it, while an observation tower allows you to look out across the park. It's important to read up on alligator safety, information on which can be found on signs around the park.
