Biking Tyler, Desert Skies & Charlie’s Cannon

Trailriding Tyler
Grab your bike and enjoy some of the best mountain biking East Texas has to offer. We hit the hills and tackle the miles of single track trails at Tyler State Park.

Desert Skies
Texas Parks and Wildlife photographer Earl Nottingham uses black and white imagery to document the majestic skies associated with the late summer rains that travel across the broad expanses of the Big Bend region of Texas.

School of Fish
The whistle blows, and the championship battle is underway. We’re not talking about Texas high school football, it’s the finals for high school fishing. The hottest sport to hit the south these days isn’t on the field, it’s in the water. Check out a profile on high school fishing. 

Charlie and His Cannon   
What do a fireman, a computer analyst, and a semi-retired private land owner all have in common?  The battle for Texas’ independence at San Jacinto, of course.  One of the most significant historical events in the westward expansion of the United States took place in an unlikely marsh in south east Texas, now known as the Battle of San Jacinto.  Each year hundreds of re-enactors gather to relive this pivotal battle that changed the path of Texas and all of North America.

Postcard From Texas
The fishing pier at Goose Island State Park is an active place.
