Galveston Island State Park Kayak Paddle
The TPWD site suggests a kayak trail at Galveston Island State Park, and the route above does it in one shot. The north side of the park along San Luis Pass Road is a nice place for tent camping, although it’s sometimes windy. The other side, towards the gulf, seems close packed and busy. The above route is a counterclockwise loop that goes out to some sea barrier, along with four straight-in approaches to the shore, each ending with a yellow turnaround dot. The park has some hiking trails which go around the ponds inside the park. It’s pretty easy to see alligators in the ponds.
