Resaca De La Palma State Park - State park in Brownsville - 1000 New Carmen Ave, USA

We had an excellent visit in the middle of Sept. Got there right when it opened to be the heat. Did the tour with Raul and it was excellent. We saw Harris's Hawks, Coyote tracks, Turkey Vulchers, Groove-billed Anis, Blue winged Mexican Butterfly and many other critters. Then, we took a self guided bike ride. It was excellent. Stayed til about noon when it got really hot. Will definitely go back!

Clean well kept state park. Easy access for those physically challenged I would say 75 percent of birds we saw were within a 100 yards. Around the parking lot or near the bird blind directly behind the visitors center. All wheelchair accessible. The bird blind is well kept and unlike many other state parks in Texas had food and water out at 3 to 5 pm. Only knock right now is there is no water the resaca is dry so less birds then I would expect but this year all along the rio grande we are seeing this.

We went to see two rare birds (Gray-Collared Becard and Roadside Hawk), and scored on both. The park itself is lovely, the staff super helpful and friendly, and the facilities are perfect. We couldn’t ask for more!

Very nice park with lots of good walking trails. Most are 1 mile or less.

Very nice, clean park. Not as many birds as I had hoped for, but the 3 photo blinds did offer a lot of ops to see and take pics. I even got 2 life birds here; Clay-colored Thrush and Hooded Oriole. Very clean modern restrooms too.

Great state park! Known best for it's birding opportunities, this large park provides great opportunities to see the birds of the Rio Grande Valley. Rarities are found here every year, such as Tropical Parula, Roadside Hawk, Rose-throated Becard, Blue Bunting, and many more. The staff is friendly, helpful, and very knowledgable of the birds and other wildlife the park has to offer.

The best place to go to for an afternoon hike or bike ride. Miles of trails with benches and observation decks that allow the opportunity to view many different birds and wildlife. The visitor center has a gift shop, snacks and drinks and the staff are amazing. Bring plenty of water, bug spray is recommended.

Great for birding, went in March and saw quite a few birds. The bird blinds right by the visitor center is really nice. Take the golf cart tour of the park, you'll learn a lot.
