One of the most notable things about Lake Jackson, Texas, is the abundance of trees everywhere.
It’s no accident — the city was laid out to preserve as many of the trees as possible and has been designated a Tree City USA by the Arbor Day Foundation.
Nearby are 1,431 acres of parks, a wildlife refuge, bird observatory, aquarium and marine center dive park, a music hall and a top-rated golf course that’s also an Audubon cooperative sanctuary. A natural science museum, named one of the ten best museums in Texas by Frommer's Travel Guide, houses the largest collection of shells on display in the South, plus life-sized fossilized dinosaur skeletons.
While it offers a host of family-friendly attractions for both visitors and residents, it’s also nearby to both beaches and big-city amenities. Lake Jackson is just 12 miles from the nearest beach, 42 miles from Galveston and just over 50 miles from Houston.
Established in the early 1940s as a planned community, Lake Jackson is a historic city within the greater Houston metro area.
