About
What to Know
W. Goodrich Jones State Forest combines outdoor recreation with active forestry research and education. The Texas A&M Forest Service lists nearly 17 miles of trails and pathways, two small lakes, birdwatching, and demonstration areas. Red-cockaded woodpecker habitat is an important conservation focus. Visit in daylight and carry out everything you bring in, including trash. This is a managed forest rather than a groomed city garden: follow posted restrictions and give habitat areas space. Educational group tours are by appointment, and horseback riders should check the forest's registration arrangements.
