It's a trap! Big Thicket's carnivorous plants use deception to trick and trap insects in order to get the nutrients they need.

Explore a natural garden of carnivorous plants with a ranger. This 1-mile, hour-long walk on the Pitcher Plant Trail will give you an up-close look at these unusual plants.

The Pitcher Plant Trail is located near Warren, TX. From US Hwy 69/287 in Warren, go east on FM 1943, then south on County Road 4850, and look for the trail parking area.
