Hikers and Bikers will enjoy the 5 mile long paved trail that is located right outside our main gate! Thanks to a $1,000,000 grant from the Texas Department of Transportation, great cooperation (as usual) from the City of Mission and some real effort from the folks at Bentsen Palm Development, the trail is quickly becoming a popular pastime.

The trail begins at Bentsen Palm Village RV Resort across from the World Birding Center Headquarters, takes you past some beautiful South Texas farmland, over a new bridge across the Mission Main Canal, then trails down between the canal and some very scenic native habitat for a mile and a half or so before entering a variety of South Texas brush and prairie country, then finishes up at the Mission Nature Park. With the World Birding Center, the NABA Butterfly Park, and the addition of new trails and habitat at Bentsen State Park, there is a lot to see and do.

Call EARLY for reservations to take advantage our great seasonal rates and don't forget we have also have full-accomodation cabins available. Better than a hotel room, very comfortable, full kitchen, sleeps up to six. Just a walk away from some of the best birding in the country!
