Only 15 miles from downtown Houston, this 2,800 acre "green and blue island' of a state park is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of life in Houston. Sheldon Reservoir, located on Carpenter's Bayou, a tributary of Buffalo Bayou, was constructed in 1942 by the federal government to provide water for war industries along the Houston Ship Channel. Texas Parks and Wildlife acquired the reservoir in 1952 and designated it as the Sheldon Wildlife Management Area; it was opened in 1955. Sheldon Lake was designated a state park in 1984.
SLSP IS AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE YOU WILL SEE WILDLIFE - ALLIGATORS, SNAKES, AND OTHER TEXAS SPECIES. Come prepared for the experience but remember not to feed, attempt to capture, or otherwise annoy the animals.
Permits are on file with the park.
Congrats to EmpressOne for FTF!
