The grassy wait for the ferry. Picnic tables, ships, the monument across the water.
1704 Burnet Dr$
Neighborhood
Lynchburg
Ferry, battlefield views, the edge of the story.
Lynchburg sits on the ship channel where a ferry has run since the Republic. HCTRA runs it now — not TxDOT — free, weekdays 4:30 a.m.–8 p.m., weekends 11 a.m.–6:30 p.m., closed major holidays. Ride it. Look toward the monument. Understand that the Texas Revolution ended a few miles from what is now a nature center parking lot. Then go eat. Burnet Park at 1704 Burnet Drive is the grassy wait. San Jacinto itself is in La Porte — still the correct second half of the morning.
Parking. North landing at Burnet Park. Don’t block the ferry queue.

The free ferry that still crosses the Houston Ship Channel. Same route as 1836. Not 24 hours.

Eighteen minutes that made Texas. Ride the ferry, then look up.
