Every State's Best Outdoor Activity

While the diverse geography of Texas allows for plenty of watersports, hiking, biking, horseback riding, golfing and other outdoor activities, it's also recognized as the "birding capital of the nation," with some 600 bird species that make the state their home. It's home to the World Birding Center, which offers nine locations from which to view birds along a road that stretches over 100 miles, as well as the unique Great Texas Coastal Birding Trail, which offers perfect opportunities to spot some of the region's most popular species from Beaumont to the Rio Grande in areas that have been set aside for the conservation of these species.
