Buffalo Bayou is one of Houston’s greatest treasures—both historically and now. Restoration efforts over the past decade have ensured that this resource area remains environmentally robust and recreationally rich. Attend some of the events at Buffalo Bayou and catch the excitement.

Walking and biking trails offer increasingly significant ecological diversity as volunteers replace invasive species with native flora. Playgrounds and dog parks support the riparian destination for family-friendly weekends. Boat rentals allow great choices for paddle trips.  Check out the revitalized wharfs and landings.

Nights on Blue Bayou feature various arts and exhibitions, including free outdoor music series at the Sabine-to-Bagby Promenade.  Buffalo Bayou is known for its Annual Regatta, and also for its yearly celebration of Asian culture with the Dragon Boat Festival and races.

Pontoon Boat Tours are returning after the loss of the Osprey to a fire at the Drennan Field Office. One of the most alluring trips is Waugh Bridge Bat Colony Boat Tour at dusk in season. Contrary to common myths, these flying mammals are tremendously beneficial to the community in terms of pollination and limiting mosquitoes and other pests.
