DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER PARK its amazing for hiking with the family, walking bike riders & fishing it has to enter to the park i recommended the 2 nd entrance specially if you want you kid to play on the play ground, the water is really clear but just one thing like everything outdoors be careful with the snakes with see too water snakes so be careful and enjoy your time with your family in this beautiful park.

Really nice park. Nice scenery and not too crowded at some places. If you go here bring a lot of mosquito repellent cause those guys dont play around. A lot of little fishing spots where you can get some fish, thats what we go to do.

Nice wooded park near Lake Houston. If you like hiking, there is a 3 mile trail around the perimeter of the park. Several smaller trails cross through the woods. The trail signage could have been better. It’s easy to feel as if you’re no longer on the actual trail esp when you are not in the wooded areas but near the power lines. If you have time and want more of a community park, check out Dreussen park next door.

Wow! Nice trails to walk or bike either through the woods or just on the paved street. Also has many access points to lake Houston that you can fish from. Off to the side, theres a playground for the kids and tables to enjoy a nice picnic or so... Very nice park and no admission fee required nor residency in surrounding neighborhoods required. Anyone can come and enjoy this park!

Very relaxing spot. Good for a quick short walk.

My garage door was operating on an older pulling system and one of the springs suddenly broke. The door was no longer able to open and I had both my cars stuck inside the garage. The worst part was I needed to go to work but couldnt leave because of the door. I called them and the repair guy arrived within the hour. He was super friendly and worked quickly. He suggested I updated my pulling system to a more modern design which was much safer than the outdated system I was using that was prone to metal springs breaking. I agreed and he had my garage door working again with a whole new system in about an hour. It was super fast, responsive, and affordable. I definitely recommend using this company when you are in a bind. Dwight d. elisnhwoer is the best!

Nice place. Weve caught catfish, small mouth bass and bluegills. Come help with my net cast it got stuck!!

I was very stressed when I got here, but I left totally relax. I really enjoyed my walking in the park, taking pictures and watching every part of the park. If you want to have a good time with your couple, I recommend you to go to the park, take good shoes and clothes because you may get dirty. There are a lot of bathrooms and parking spaces available.

Beautiful scenery. A little piece of heaven tucked away in the outskirts of the city. Cant wait to go back.

Had good time with my dad early morning fishing didnt catch anything I guess fish there dont eat shrimp lol. Will be back to catch the big 1.

I went to see the photos of the fishing places, the surprise caught my attention when I arrived, those places are closed under the bridge and where the rocks are. bad impression of the place

Love running at this park. Great trails here

This is a free park run by the county. We did the 1.2 mile palmetto trail with a couple small kids. We could not find a trail map online or at the trail head, so we didnt know where to go. We found a sign and followed the trail. The trail was very well marked. It was great for the first half of the hike with shady, beautiful scenery. The last half was the road, which we didnt know, so our hike was asphalt for a lot of it! It was hot with no shade and just followed the road we came in on. If we would have known, we would have doubled back and gone the nice way back to the parking lot. The park would benefit from some trail maps for sure!

Been so long since Ive been here. Always a great adventure through the park.

Its beautiful, relaxing and just a great place to enjoy Gods canvas.

The park is a great location to practice off road cycling. The trail consists of dirt, gravel road, grass, and paved road. The park is free to enter and there is parking too. The trail is good for beginner off road cyclists and is approximately 3.2 miles in length. There are port-o-potties in the parking lots, but I do not recall seeing places to refill water bottles, so pack plenty of water. There are picnic tables in the park too.

A great place to fish with some shade. Got some big catfish and carp from here.

Nice and peaceful place to. Bring ole lady and kids.

Very calm place. Wish people would clean up after themselves.

Beautiful place! But not to go fishing.

Nice park outside of the city. Pay attention to what trails youre on though! You can easily end up on the wrong side of the river (not the beach side). A good alternative to Sheldon Lake Park that is usually much more crowded.

Beautiful park. Lots of trails

Good fishing

Very quiet and peaceful place to go for a walk.

Its so beautifulGood for family outtingBut kinda hard to throw ur line out with all the trees around(We didnt catch anything this time)

Nice. Great for my boxer and chocolate lab. But beware of alligators.

This place has some decent trails and I actually saw my first black with red stripes grasshopper. I loved the sounds of the different birds I heard while walking through the trails. There are a lot of road walks and powerline trails and the observation point is actually a dead end into a small mud puddle. The place has plenty of portapottys but no toilet paper. They also have lots of trash cans which is nice if people would actually use them. The cops wont do anything about people letting their dogs run around without a leash even after they attack your dogs so I wouldnt recommend bringing your pets with you. This place may be better through the week but definitely dont go here on the weekend looking for solitude. There are also a lot of roots on the trails so watch your footing, 3 out of 5 of us tripped. Saw a lot of bikers out so this park maybe better suited for that.

Very beautiful for small park.. Very quiet there. Love the views of the lake there... The trees are beautiful as well. Will love to see it when its spring time

The park is in beautiful shape. The mowers were there at the front when we entered this morning. Hardly any cars and a great place to ride. We are not into serious bike riding so its nice to just enjoy the shade and nature. We stopped at the public restrooms which were very clean. We did the Loop and it ended up being about 3.7 miles. Great place and the water looked so calm and peaceful. Will have our next picnic there!!

The Eisenhower Park is a very nice and clean park, located on the South end of Lake Houston, between Sheldon and Crosby.People come here to walk, run, hike a bit, just hanging out or ... fishing. People say this is an underrated fishing spot and love it, as it seems never appear to be crowded.I like the natural appearance, that gives you an idea, how the swamps around Houston may have looked like 100 - 150 years ago.

You. Can. Set. In. Your.truck. and. Watch. People. Boating. Fishing. Skeedos. Lovely. If. Your. Single. You. Can. Watch. The. Preety. Ladies

Always nice. Quiet. Bathrooms were clean. Water fountain at the bathrooms I believe. You can land launch a kayak or canoe if you wish. Strong current from the looks of it so either go against for your first leg or have a second vehicle at a second drop point. Trails are decent. Not super well kept but they do what they can for a free, open to the public park.EDIT::::: This park is currently under construction. Entry is blocked with be exception of a couple parking spots at the far entry. No trails. No kayaking or canoe entry. And watch out for gators.

Decided to get up early and have my line in the water at day break. Just moved to Houston 6 months ago now time to go fishing. Drove up to the entrance and this gate is closed. Ok I get this. But doesnt open till 7 am. I thought this was a place to fish and take early morning walks. When the person came and open the gate there were a line of cars waiting to get in. Not used to parks having gates. Guess kinda shows the level of crime here in Houston.

Great park that has very few visitors. Several miles of wooded trails with picnic tables here and there.

Been closed for repairs forever. Ive give them 5 stars if theyd open the park again.

Love this park very clean and private, you can fish and theres trails and a play area for the kids.

Nice spots to picnic, fish, or just walk around.

Love fishing here! Very peaceful!

It was nice day to be on water last flood sure made a lot of sand bars got be extra careful do to that places that were 15 and 20 deep or now 2 and 3 deep , everyone be careful here.grandkids had a blast.

Good place to teach kids how to fish, unless they stock it. Then its on!!!!!

Wasnt really at the park, just offshore was nice.

If you are looking for trails be warned, that area of the park is under construction and there is no notice on the website about this. Only the pond and play area are open. Hopefully they open the trails soon, thats the best part about this place.

Had a good time very relaxing place

It was great. My friends and I took our dogs on a hike. Theres plenty of parking and the trail was awesome. It was a great workout but its not too challenging.

Peaceful park with relaxing trails through the trees. Some paths get muddy in the winter months and could use additional bridges.One star off because they routinely shut the gates 45 minutes before the posted closing time. Weve been locked in a couple of times.

Excellent. Fishing was awsome.

Always a good time. Plenty of room to play with kids and fishing and hiking trails.

Beautiful park and amazing walking trails.

Great park for kids

Beautiful fish great views

Quiet, serene, and water access.

Big alligators in the water and took my dog

Fishing here is awesome. Not too many people come out here. Did have an officer run people out of the park that were smoking weed once. Besides that all fishermen out here are friendly.

Loved this place! It was so Peaceful!

Most of the park was closed for construction. Still an awesome place to hang a hammock and relax!

Great Park for picnics, hikes, and fishing. Playgrounds for the children as well.

Good trails to walk, I love nature and this place is relatively so close to downtown Houston

The trail was pretty good for biking, a little rough but It was still awesome

Nice place to visit..might go fishing next time...

Nice place

I have been taking my kids here for about 4 years they love this park. It has a pond that is stocked with bass and various pan fish. In winter they stock it with rainbows but get there early because it gets packed. This park also had great running trails great to mountain bike just quick the trails are not extremely long but very nice. The park is usually always cleaned but the county could use some fresh pavement markings for the bike lanes.

Very nice park. Lots of nature trails that go for a few miles. There is a nice fishing area right on the San Jacinto river. They also have a stock pond that they good rainbow trout in.

Banks could use some love. Decent fishing.

Very clean and nice , just wish people would clean up after them selves , no need to leave your mess behind.

I used to hike and geo-cache in Eisenhower Park many, many years ago. It was very wild and unmanicured (compared to every other Houston area park) then. It was wonderful - at that time - to get to enjoy a mostly untouched environment in the midst of urban and suburban sprawl. Im happy to see that this little pocket of wilderness has improved in the best way. The park has taken pains to be inviting to hikers, cyclers, kayakers, and those who fish. The entire roadway in the park is divided equally between autos and those on foot or bike. Kayaks and canoes are all thats allowed on the water. Hiking trails have been expanded and much better marked. Houston provides a dearth of truly wild spaces and this is absolutely a place you can go and step out of the citys urban sprawl.

Good place to relax and fish.Ive been fishing here since I was child now 54 .

I really love to fish here. Its a treasure spot for me. There isnt alot of people and if there are its spacious enough for everyone to be spread out enough your not all up in each others business. The only thing I dont like is porta potty is always dirty. Its a portable potty thats self explanatory. Just make sure if you bring the kids you have a way for them to use the bathroom. For instance a portable urinal or small bucket with tp/wipes and some grocery bags. Other then that it fun! You can kayak and fish. Bring your hammock. Its a nice place to be outside.

There are still a few places in the park that you can see how badly the hurricane hit, but a lot of the area has been cleaned up. Its quite a bit smaller than neighboring Duessen park, but its more quiet and ideal for those who just want to spend a little time in nature. Some spots have a bit of trash which is sad, so if you can, bring a small trash bag and pick up a little to throw into one of the bins. Theres a spot I like to sit and reflect while I watch the lake, sometimes. Thre are trails to hike, bike and spots to fish.

I love to go kayaking here so close to home

Calming & serene

It is a good park for trail walking, the trails are not paved or gravel so it helps you feel like youre connected to the nature a little more than many other parks in the area. They have a covered playground which is nice and a permanent restroom located right next to it. The only downside I have found is the 3.2 Mile Trail goes mostly along power lines. Who wants to walk along power lines I dont know but I sure dont.

Awesome Park do yourself a favor and visit this

Visited the park to fish. It was clean and discreet with many hiking trails. The port-a-cans were clean. They even have restroom stations with park areas for kids. Benches and bar-b-qs for good clean fun and good times. And I caught plenty of drum and catfish.

Generally a quiet park. Bring water if you plan to walk the trails.

Great hike and bike trails. Still quite a bit of flood debris from Harvey but the fishing park is nice and the main trails are open. Surprisingly biodiverse and good for getting a workout whether its mountain biking,trail running,kayaking or road biking in a nice enclosed park free of traffic.

Wish the website included some maps of the park. So here are some photos of the maps that are are some trail heads.At the playground theres a distant view of the dam spillway. It would be cool if you could get a better view of this unique feature.

Quiet loved it. Hide out

Very nice and well kept park.

Relaxing place!

Fun place to walk trails, go fishing, and simply enjoy nature! Amazing place to relax and take a break from society!

Amazing place. I fell in love with the place. Like a miniature jurrasic park.

Nice little getaway from Houston. Park offers walking and biking trails with adequate parking. Good fishing spots are limited to only a few.

Its a good place to bring the kids to fish. Unfortunately people have trashed it. My 6 year old found a razor blade on the ground

Needs a better place to put in kayaks

Wonderful and so amazing

Nice park, great for boaters.

Ive had two experiences taking a walk through this park; one pleasant and one miserable. The pleasant hike was on one of the deeper trails about a year ago. It was a nice hike, with tree cover for almost the entire thing (we turned around when we got to a field). There was ample parking, and trash bins and restrooms. The poor experience was just a few days ago. We hiked one of the trails at the front of the park in the evening and it essentially just turned into us running away from an army of horse flies. Multiple people were bit, and it just was not a fun experience. I dont know if it was time of day, time of year, or just the way that particular trail is, but I wouldnt ever go back to that trail.

Beautiful place. So much nature

Nice safe place with a port a pottie to go fishing.

Quiet secluded peaceful good trails

Beautiful scenic drives not a bad place to fish either if you dont mind walking and hiking watch for snakes quite a few deer

So peacful

Great for biking and hiking. Has a small lake for fishing with individual parking and picnic table. Also has a nice covered park that the kids enjoyed.

A very nice park. Great for fishing, kayaking, biking, hiking or bird watching. There is also a park for the kids. The only things I dont like about it is 1) they could use some signs pointing to the exits and to the river 2) there is always so much trash...at least near the river. Lots of fishing line, hooks, beer cans, etc. Ive gone to the park a couple of times just to clean up trash!

Ive been there many of times. I grew up going there love it. But they need to expand the fishing area. It gets to crowded in these areas. If they would expand more areas people could fish more comfortable. Just hope to see that happen soon.

Good place to meet up

Fun walk. One trail brought us to a gravel road, trail didnt continue as far as we could tell.

Peaceful

A nice scenic walking trail. Able to see some wild life sometimes. Not too popular so youre able to enjoy the walk.

All the fishing
