- We're here on the southeast corner of Texas.
We are here at Sea Rim State Park,
about 10 miles west of Sabine Pass.
[gentle acoustic music]
We're a relatively small park.
- RIDER: I know, the water is going to eat you.
[laughter]
- NATHAN: We do have five miles of beach.
The majority of this park is marshland,
and a lot of people that come out here to enjoy the park,
enjoy either the beach or they get a chance to enjoy
experience the marsh environment.
[water splash from paddling]
[birds chirp]
The neat thing about the Gambusia Nature Trail,
is your just right above the water.
- BOY: Crab, crab, crab!!
- NATHAN: It's a wonderful way to experience the marshland
environment without getting your feet wet.
- BOY: Alligator, alligator, right here!
Baby alligator!
It's right here, you see em!
There's probably a mama nearby!
- BOY 2: Yeah, your right!
- I think it's really cool, I've never experienced
actually seeing an alligator in its natural habitat,
and it's really cool to actually see on in person!
[footsteps]
- It's easy, it's easily accessible,
and it's a nice long trail where you're really isolated
from the rest of the world.
And you don't realize that there is any civilization around.
And it's just a hidden gem I suppose you would call it!
[water splash from paddling]
- NATHAN: We have over 10 miles of paddling trails.
- KAYAKER: It's so pretty out here!
[water splash from paddling]
- NATHAN: There's different canals, lakes, small areas
that people can get out and explore on their own.
You get a chance to observe, be one with nature!
- KAYAKER: Ah, a fish jumped in my boat!!
- NATHAN: We're out here on Sea Rims east beach...
- Oh, I saw one!
- NATHAN: It's a wonderful spot to go crabbing.
I do have some chicken necks that are tied up
to the string here!
- RICKY: It's like fishing!
- What's on it!
Yuck.
- I didn't have any idea it would involve chicken.
I thought you would just cast a net, pull them in,
and it would be done!
[laughs]
- MATT: That's a crabbies!
- MARTY BODDIE: Uh oh, I think you got a bite!
You do, pull it in real slow!
Been in Southeast Texas 15 years, this is my first time!
Lookie there Matt!
- MATT: That's a keeper!
- Oh it's great, the kids are having a blast and we are too!
I think I'm having more fun than the kids!
[Crab grabs chicken neck]
- I got one!
I think!
Hazel, get it, get it, get it!
It's a big one?
- NICOLE: It is fun, I didn't know about it, and I don't think
a lot of people do know about it!
- Got ya little scoundrel!
- Oh, oh got it!
- NICOLE: Especially if you are into crabs, we have caught
so many crabs today!
- RICKY: You see it!
[splash]
Oh I got two!
- NATHAN: Two for one, how bout that!
- Yeah!
Look Dad I caught two!
[waves lapping]
- We come out here at least about every other weekend!
We just kinda grew up out here fishing!
- MRS. REYES: Oh you lost your bait baby!
- ROBERT: It's fun!
Family loves it!
My son loves it!
- R.J. REYES: Almost every day after work, he says,
"Come on were going fishing!"
I'm like, "OK, its fine with me!"
- ROBERT: Oh!
You really never know what you are going to catch out here!
Bull Red, coming in with it!
It was pretty shallow probably second sand bar!
Have to tag this one, this one's over 28!
All right!
- MRS. REYES: Mira!
[inspirational music]
- NATHAN: Sea Rim State Park is a park that not very many
people are aware of!
You're not going to hear all buzzing traffic
or anything like that, you are away from it all,
and you can come out here and enjoy, enjoy life!
