East of Houston on Interstate 10 is a nice little woodsy rest-stop. It’s marked as “Deer Park” on the map, although the actual city which bears that name is a little to the south. This simply might be the northern edge of the district. The rest-stop building has a few historical displays (including a period map of the area), and a replica of the San Jacinto Monument. That bit of history was a nice find. The main reason we were there was the many shady walking trails about the area. Many of the trails are raised, so it could be used if the weather had been poor. It was a good place to let the dog out for a stroll during the long car trip, and to have a nice picnic lunch.
