Big Thicket National Preserve

National Park Service - Experience Your America

"One's fondness for the area is hard to explain. It has no commanding peak or awesome gorge, no topographical feature of distinction. Its appeal is more subtle. It must be experienced bit by bit, step by step. One can neither see far nor go fast...What is left of the Thicket is as wild as ever. Its wilderness character was, and still is, its essential appeal, the major interest that took us there in the first place."  Big Thicket Legacy, University of Texas Press, 1977
