Experience Louisiana’s Marshes Like Never Before At The 125,000+ Acre Sabine National Wildlife Refuge In Louisiana
Louisiana’s wetlands make up about 40% of the wetlands in the continental United States. Not only do our wetlands provide us with ample recreational opportunities, but they also play a much more important role for our feathered friends, serving as essential habitat for both local and migratory birds (not to mention all the other critters like deer, alligators, bears, and more). The Sabine National Wildlife Refuge is one of Louisiana’s most important wetlands, and it’s also one of the most beautiful. Let’s check it out.
Established in 1937, the Sabine National Wildlife Refuge is one of southwestern Louisiana’s most beautiful hidden gems.
Its primary purpose is to provide a habitat for migratory birds, and today the refuge is home to more than 200 species of birds. During your visit, it’s not uncommon to see everything from eagles to egrets.
On a clear day, you'll feel like the view never stops! It's a perfect spot to sit back and enjoy Louisiana's natural scenery and do a little wildlife viewing.
If you visit the refuge during the warmer months, be sure to keep an eye out for alligators and snakes. These little fellas tend to enjoy sunbathing, and you wouldn't want to accidentally stumble into one of them on your walk!
