About Sheldon Lake State Park & Environmental Learning Center
Just 15 minutes from downtown Houston you’ll find a park with a lake, ponds, wetlands, woods and prairie. Your family will love exploring this nearby oasis. Come out for the day to fish, hike, paddle and nature watch. You can visit for free: We don’t charge an entry fee! Families (children with adults) can drop a line in one of our two fishing ponds, which are catch-and-release only.
