Eden Gardens State Park

Eden Gardens State Park is a 163-acre property in Point Washington featuring a two-story mansion with white columns overlooking Tucker Bayou. The grounds include nature trails, fishing areas, ornamental gardens, and various sections to explore throughout the day.

The mansion was built in the late 19th century and reflects French design influences from that era. The state acquired the property in 1968 to protect both the historic structures and the surrounding natural landscape.

The mansion displays furniture and decor from the late 19th century, showing how wealthy families lived during that era. Walking through its rooms gives visitors a sense of daily life and gatherings from that time period.

The mansion can be visited Thursday through Monday between 10 AM and 3 PM, with staff guiding visitors through the rooms. The nature trails and fishing areas are open daily, making any time of day suitable for exploring the grounds.

Beyond the mansion, a reflection pond holds water lilies and large koi fish, creating a calm focal point on the grounds. Nearby gardens are planted with heirloom varieties of roses, camellias, and azaleas that bloom across different seasons.
