Things to Do While Visiting Us

When planning your trip to Ethridge Farm Bed & Breakfast, you’ll want to schedule time to visit some of the great attractions found in the Big Thicket area. You’ll find everything from historical and natural sites to art, shopping, dining, and even an Indian Reservation.

The Big Thicket National Preserve of Southeast Texas is one of the most popular attractions in the area and is located just down the road from The Farm. The Preserve is home to natural wetlands and hundreds of unique species of wildlife. Bird watching is a favorite activity for many visitors. Hike, bike, and enjoy other fun and educational activities with the new Visitor Center. Canoeing along Village Creek, the Neches River, or through the Big Thicket is one of the most popular activities for visitors. Several area canoe outfitters offer the options of renting you own canoes for the day or signing up for one of their guided tours.
