Huntsville and County Government
Huntsville is the county seat and contains the courthouse, principal county offices, Sam Houston State University, hospitals, schools, commerce, and historical landmarks.
Interstate 45 connects the city with Houston and Dallas. State correctional facilities and public institutions are also prominent parts of the local economy.
New Waverly and Southern Walker County
New Waverly is a southern city along Interstate 45 linking rural communities with the northern Houston commuter market.
Pine woodland, ranches, farms, and low-density housing surround the city.
Riverside and the Trinity River
Riverside is a small northeastern city near the Trinity River and the upper reach of Lake Livingston. River and lake conditions influence fishing, boating, and rural access.
Water levels and flood conditions change, so current official information is required for river travel and emergency decisions.
Sam Houston National Forest
Sam Houston National Forest extends across southern Walker County and neighboring counties. Pine forest, hiking, camping, hunting, and wildlife viewing are major uses.
Fire restrictions, forest-road closures, and hunting regulations can change and require current U.S. Forest Service guidance.
Lake Livingston
Lake Livingston is a large Trinity River reservoir extending into Walker, Trinity, Polk, and San Jacinto counties. Texas Parks and Wildlife reports an area of about 83,277 acres.
Fishing, boating, and camping are common activities. Current water level, boat ramps, and fishing regulations should be checked before travel.
