Sam Houston Jones State Park, State park in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana.

Sam Houston Jones State Park is a state park in Calcasieu Parish covering more than 1,000 acres of land with water channels and forest. The landscape mixes open water areas surrounded by pine and hardwood trees that shelter diverse wildlife.

The park was originally named for Sam Houston, the Texas folk hero who traveled widely in western Louisiana. Its current name honors former Louisiana governor Sam Houston Jones, who was instrumental in setting aside this tract of land for public enjoyment. The park lies where the Houston River joins the Calcasieu River and Indian Bayou.

The park serves as a prime location for bird enthusiasts, offering opportunities to spot up to 200 different bird species throughout the year.

Two boat launches on the West Fork of Calcasieu River give access to the lake and connecting trails for exploring on foot. The flat terrain is suitable for walking and water activities at a relaxed pace.

The park sits in the Central Migratory Flyway, just north of Louisiana's most productive birding region; in spring and fall nearly 200 bird species pass within 30 miles (50 km) of the site. Hikers can also walk the old stagecoach road and the banks of tributaries feeding the Calcasieu River.
