Sabine National Wildlife Refuge

Hunting

Public waterfowl hunting is permitted on approximately 34,000 acres of the refuge during state-determined teal duck and coastal zone waterfowl seasons. The refuge hosts 3,000 to 4,000 hunter visits each year. Each refuge hunter must have a signed hunting regulations form!

Fishing

Fishing and crabbing are permitted in designated recreation areas along Highway 27 year round. The Southwest Louisiana National Wildlife Refuge Complex Fishing Regulations brochure is a great tool when planning your fishing trip.

Wildlife Viewing and Photography

In cooperation with the Creole Nature Trail All American Road, the refuge built a roadside 'scenic overlook' beside State Highway 27. This area allows visitors on the refuge to stop and observe coastal marsh habitat and wildlife without having to leave their vehicle. There are also two pedestrian wildlife observation trails on the refuge.
