| Description |
|
Village Creek is an extremely popular flat water, canoe float
stream in what remains as the heart and soul of the Old Texas Big
Thicket. Rainfall is abundant and the banks of Village Creek flood
severely every 3 or 4 years. The park is a "forest" full
of cypress swamps; water tupelo, river birch, mayhaw, and yaupon
trees; baygalls and blackwater sloughs in the flood plain of the
Neches River.
From Beaumont, take US Highway 69/96 North; take Mitchell Road
exit onto Mitchell Road (just before the US Highway 69/96 split).
Go approximately .4 mile on the access road and turn east (right)
onto Mitchell Road. Then turn immediately north (left) onto FM 3513
(Village Creek Parkway). Go approximately 2 miles and turn East
(right) on Alma Drive. Cross the railroad tracks (veer to the left)
and go .5 mile to park entrance.
