We also rent canoes.You do not need a fishing license to fish from shore or pier in a Texas state park. Bring your own fishing gear or borrow ours!TrailsWe have nearly four miles of hike and bike trails. Follow the footsteps of early Texans as you explore the park.The Old Henderson Road Loop traces a former trade route for travelers between Henderson and Shreveport.
