Spring Break Ideas for East Texas and the Golden Triangle

Make Papa’s Farm Home Base as you Explore The Big Thicket

Your kids are looking forward to Spring Break!

Have you made plans to squeeze the most fun out of the week?

The Big Thicket Region draws families from across the country. Avoid the crowds by reserving Papa’s Farm as your personal home base for your visit.

You’ll have the private run of a nine-acre farm and a large house, a great alternative to a traditional hotel experience. Your group will have thee bedrooms (five beds), a fully stocked kitchen, and a large living room.

Enjoy quality time over a campfire and, in season, help yourselves to garden produce, oranges, peaches, berries, and pecans.

When you are ready for an adventure, choose from the best The Big Thicket has to offer:

Visit one of the nation’s top paddling destinations: canoe or kayak Village Creek
A wide range of eco systems come together in The Big Thicket. Explore them all independently or on ranger led excursions.
Enjoy great fishing at Dam B. There are a number of state and federal parks and lots of boat ramps. Catch largemouth bass, Kentucky bass, bluegill, white perch, white bass, blue catfish, channel catfish, and massive flathead catfish.
