The Sugar Mill Stretch of the Stephen F. Austin Trail covers over a 6 mile section of the Brazos River from County Road 849 near Brazoria to FM 2004 outside of Lake Jackson. The trail unfolds over one of the most incredible ecological systems in our region, where the historic Brazos River winds through the dense, wet Columbia Bottomlands. This lush world of towering trees, palmetto thickets and flowering plants supports a multitude of wildlife species and provides a critically important stopover habitat for migrating birds. Launch options: CR 849 near Brazoria and FM 2004 boat ramp in Lake Jackson.
