Ecosystems of West Bay (Lake Como)

Galveston Island State Park   – Ecosystems of West Bay (Lake Como)

Explore the marsh and bay ecosystems, on land and below the surface.

Galveston Bay is full of life. As the grasses of the prairie descend into the marsh, the plant and animal life changes with the tides. Become a defender of the bay by learning who and what calls the bay home.

This hike has very little shade so hats and sunglasses are highly recommended. Plan ahead – wear close-toed shoes that you can get wet.

• Meet: Nature Center, then drive to Lake Como
• Cost: Entry fee is $5 for adults and FREE for children 12 & under. Park entry free with a State Parks Pass.

*Events and programs subject to cancellation due to weather. Please contact park staff for more information and further updates.
