The birding is great along Ghost Road. Trees--pines, oaks, sweet gums, hollies--line either side of the long dirt road, giving travelers the illusion of driving through a dense forest. But Ghost Road’s claim to fame--as its name implies--is as the site of numerous spirit-sightings and other paranormal experiences.
The Ghost Road is situated in the heart of the Big Thicket. It begins at a bend on Farm-to-Market Road 787 that is 1.7 miles north of the intersection of FM 787-770, near Saratoga.
The waterways of Big Thicket National Preserve draw boating enthusiasts from all over Texas, the country, and the world. Big Thicket has two official canoeing trails, but these are just a fraction of the canoeing, kayaking, and other boating experiences the preserve affords, which also include wild-river experiences along the Neches River and the primal pleasures of paddling through cypress and tupelo swamps in Pine Island Bayou. Boating is permitted from April through October. Read more>
