This is a great little park and zoo. Its been a few years since Ive been and theyve added several really nice exhibits and have updated the train. A fun way to spend an afternoon.

Nice trail, clean bathrooms, plenty of playground equipment, there are several fishing spots besides the pier. Theres plenty of shade by the playgrounds.

Theres a nice loop that goes around the lake, a 1.1 mile walk. I didnt get the chance to visit the zoo, but I did ride the train. Well worth the $2.00. The trail goes into a dense forest region thats like walking in a jungle. I recommend bringing water with you and enjoying the lake when its cool, if possible. Very much a nice place to relax for a bit. The only downside is that I could see parking being an issue if a lot of people visited at once.

Beautiful place to visit the zoo or just relax by the lake.

A must see if your in the Lufkin area!

Great prices and amazing zoo

Nice park, with a couple playgrounds, pavilions with picnic tables, walking path, bathrooms (if I remember correctly), and a little train that is inexpensive.

Nice walk around the lake

Fishing with my grand boys

Beautiful walking paths with shade and bench seats. Best nature walk I know of in lufkin...for now. The train rides are fun for the little kids (4 and under FREE) otherwise $2. Two play structures near the parking area.

So clean and peaceful!

Great small zoo and not too crowded. They also have a small train that you could ride around the outside of the zoo at a very small price. Also beautiful scenery

Nice trail around the lake with picnic tables, grassy areas, a playground, restrooms, and benches.

Im always so proud to say Lufkin has a zoo. I love all the different animals and the train ride is a must!

Love to see the wild birds!

Nice walk around the lake and got to see bald eagles

Very beautiful walkway around the water. It was very clean and well maintained. On the north side as of today the have an eagle nest in a pine tree on the south side of the walkway.

This park is right by the zoo parking. So even if you dont go to the zoo you can still go to the park. We ate here after the zoo and had a nice picnic lunch at some of their tables all covered. There were mens and womens restrooms nearby and water fountains as well. Now it is by the lake and one would go swimming. However they do advise not to, do to the alligators. We did not see any but it was well marked and we didnt take any chances. The highlight here though is a little train that starts in the parking lot goes around the zoo and across the lake and back. It is separate from the zoo and cost 2 dollars per person and 3 dollars for a whistle, all of this sponsored by the loins club. Overall I think it was the best thing to end our trip and my family loved it.

This park has a trail that goes through the woods and over the Angelina river. Its a beautiful place, and a great (and free) place to walk for exercise. Watch out for snakes and alligators.

Small and family friendly. Plenty to see and do.

This is a pretty little park with a big duck pond. Lots of herons and ducks and some alligators. There is a very pretty mulch trail around the back side of the park, about 1 mile.

The park was lovely setting against the lake. The train ride was inexpensive and a fun little thing to enjoy while there. We loved the park and zoo when we visited on our recent vacation. Lufkin is a lovely town.

Its charming. A smaller zoo that I have been too but still lots to see. Price is extremely reasonable.

The trail is excellent for exercising.

AAA+

A great place for an enexpensive family hang out. Several things to do there free as well or just ride the Lil train... Either way the whole family will be entertained. Not much parking tho

A hidden gem in the forest. I will be back

Excellent thats the only word

Always love coming to the zoo. Even better that Sundays and Monday before 10 you get in for free

Its a great place to relax. I love driving up there and just watch the ducks and nature unfold.

Describe my experienceWell lets start with its bigger than what I thought for a smaller city.The bathroom is better than most.Amazing prices on idemsNice things

Beautiful shaded zoo. Really clean and animals were active while we were there. Bigger than I thought for a small city.

My kids enjoy them self

Paper towels or air blower needed in the bathrooms

Went to fish. didnt catch anything, but the park is a nice place to chill, and watch your bobber

Great place to take the kids. Cheap as well.

I love the Zoo havent,been in,q minute would love to go

Go there once a week in good weather, Im giving 4 stars because one corner of the lake has debris, and sometimes there seems to be a lot of green algae on the lake, theres a new floating platform you can walk out on and a one mile jogging trail. Beware, it seems you have to come from the east to access the lake and zoo entrance from ellen trout dr.

Beautiful time with my beautiful girl

Restrooms, lake trail with fishing, two play grounds with patios, grilling. At the zoo and there is a small train ride for a fee.

I love it so much

Great zoo!

Entry fee went from $2 to $7

Love it

Not much of a bass lake but has good sized catfish

Awesome experience...
