Jarbo Bayou
Bridge over Lawrence Road
The
tiny Bayou
formed the man made Island of Clear Lake Shores and
feeds the canals in Lazy Bend. Some sources report that at
an earlier time the bayou flowed for five miles. It traverses flat to
rolling terrain, surfaced by dark, commonly calcareous clays that
support mesquite, grasses, cacti, and some hardwoods and pines.
Most of the cacti and masquite are gone today.

The
water in Jarbo Bayou is slightly brackish and supports most of the
aquatic life that is indigenous to Clear Lake and Galveston Bay. Its
salinity is determined by the amount of rain that falls.
