Sam Houston Jones State Park, State park in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana.
The 1,087-acre park features tree-filled lagoons and mixed pine and hardwood forest, creating natural habitats for numerous wildlife species.
Named after Louisiana's 37th governor Sam Houston Jones, who dedicated this land tract for public use in the mid-20th century.
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 provide direct access to Calcasieu Lake and multiple hiking trails for outdoor recreation.
The park participates in the Longleaf Legacy Project, restoring over 70 acres of longleaf pine forest through educational programs and conservation efforts.
