Fred Hartman Bridge, Baytown

Baytown Nature Center

Step into this 450-acre peninsula to appreciate sweeping views of Galveston Bay and the Houston Ship Channel.

Arrive early, linger all day, and soak in the peace.

Baytown Historical Museum

A visit to Baytown Historical Museum will transport you to the early days of this city, with exhibits spanning different eras (from Native American artifacts and the city’s oil boom era). After exploring the museum, take a short drive along Texas Avenue to admire historic architecture and local eateries.

Bayland Park

When it's time to unwind, head to Bayland Park for stunning views of the waterfront, Fred Hartman Bridge, and Houston Ship Channel. There are plenty of picnic areas to enjoy a leisurely meal and walking trails to enjoy the scenery on the move. There's even a fishing pier where you can cast a line and reel in a lucky catch.
