Prairie on Fire: A Hike of New Growth

Experience Galveston Island’s wild side in a way few ever have!

Join us for an exclusive hike through the park's prairie lands, just after a prescribed burn has revitalized the area. This is your chance to witness the transformation of the landscape and its wildlife as it recovers and flourishes from the carefully controlled burn that promotes healthy growth and habitat renewal.

This hike has very little shade, so hats and sunglasses are highly recommended. 

• Bring: Sunscreen, bug spray, water, weather appropriate clothing and comfortable hiking shoes.
• Meet: Nature Center 
• Cost: Entry fee is $5 for adults and FREE for children 12 & under. Park entry free with a State Parks Pass.

*Events and programs subject to cancellation due to weather. Please contact park staff for more information and further updates.
