Review & FAQ:

Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge is a unique wildlife conservation area that consists of 34,000 acres of prairie and coastal marsh territory along the coast of Texas. The refuge, which was established in 1963, is supported largely by volunteers, who protect the area’s diverse wildlife so that it can be enjoyed and appreciated by visitors.

Those who come to Anahuac will find such species as alligators, fulvous whistling ducks, seaside sparrows, and even bobcats, whose environment is cared for all year round. Popular activities here include birdwatching, paddling, hiking, and photography. Rangers are available to lead tours as well as environmental education classes and seminars.
