Baffin Bay, Palmetto State Park, Living with Bears

The salty waters of Baffin Bay have long been a fishing hotspot for anglers on the Texas coast, and folks are working hard to keep it that way. With its lush forest floor and swampy marshes, Palmetto State Park is an unusual slice of the tropics in Central Texas. In the high Chihuahuan desert just north of Terlingua, residents are once again learning to live with bears.
