Awesome park! Great for a morning walk, run, or bike ride and for bird watching. Lots of nice birds at the feeding stations. The park is very well kept, there are picnic tables for visitors to use. There’s a little tram that goes around the park. Nice little souvenir store in the visitor center, there’s also a small cafe.
Perfect place I'd recommend the Tram Ride if you need to stop somewhere as it's very hot these days in the valley but if you're experienced and headed out in the morning or the evening for a hike then you're good to go. It's a big trail with lots to see. My girlfriend and I loved it here 10/10 will visit again.
Fun trip to Bentsen State Park today! We are definitely coming back! Bike trails, lots of birds and wildlife, Hawk Tower, camping, and good people.🌴 🦋🦜🚴♂️🚴♀️
Incredible! We sat in the Green Jay bird blind for almost an hour and saw a spectacular amount of birds! Absolutely thrilling for a bird lover!!
This is the place to see all the birds! We also saw some wild hogs as we exited the park so be careful around those bushes in the front. We recommend taking the Rio Grande Trail for a nice long walk around the park.
The restrooms by the gift shop and family center are well maintained for those looking for spend more than four hours here.
