Overview
Sandy Creek Park is located on the southeast side of B.A. Steinhagen Lake between the towns of Woodville and Jasper in southeast Texas. The lake provides a great getaway for fishing, boating, picnicking, camping and birding.
Natural Features: The lake lies in the heart of the East Texas Pineywoods, a beautiful region known for its pine uplands, bottomland hardwoods and pine-hardwood mixed forests, which provide habitat for a wide range of wildlife. White-tailed deer, squirrels, rabbits, red and gray fox, Bobwhite quail, and numerous species of ducks, geese, waterfowl and songbirds make their home in the area.
Recreation: B.A. Steinhagen Lake is a prime location for boating, canoeing, fishing and wildlife viewing. Several parks with boat ramps and docks are scattered around the lake, including facilities within Sandy Creek. Boat rentals are also available. Fishing is a popular pastime. Largemouth bass, catfish and crappie are the primary sport species found in the lake. Fishing docks are located within the park.
The road system within Sandy Creek Park offers excellent family biking opportunities for 3-5 mile rides. Campers enjoy the park's volleyball court and children's playground.

This cache is located near what locals refer to as "Low Water Bridge" and once you get there, you'll understand why. When heavy rain hits Beech Grove, this bridge is one of the first to experience water over the road! During the summer you will often see people sitting at the water's edge with a fishing line in the water, waiting for a nibble.
There is free parking available near the GZ, but beware of muggles as this is a Corps of Engineers Park where people come to camp and enjoy the summer. You are looking for a small clear waterproof container.
