About Village Creek State Park

Village Creek State Park sits about ten miles north of Beaumont on the margin of the Big Thicket. Visitors can camp in tent or RV sites or rent a cabin, paddle a creek trail launched from the park's canoe ramp, and explore several miles of foot and bike trails. Fishing from shore is allowed without a state fishing license, and the park lends tackle. Ranger-led hikes, stargazing, and campfire programs run through the year, and the park offers a Junior Ranger program for children.
