EXPLORE THE OUTDOORS

Surrounded by forests, lakes, and more than 220 miles of scenic trails, The Woodlands was made for outdoor adventure. Hike through the George Mitchell Nature Preserve, paddle across Lake Woodlands, cruise the water in a swan boat, challenge yourself on an aerial ropes course, or simply enjoy the fresh air in one of the area’s more than 150 parks. Every season brings new opportunities to get outside and explore.

From public art installations and the nationally recognized The Woodlands Waterway Arts Festival to waterfront dining and live performances at The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, every outing offers another reason to experience the destination beyond the resort.
