The Guadalupe Delta Spreads Into Calhoun's Marsh Country

Near San Antonio Bay, the Guadalupe River spreads into freshwater marshes, bayou corridor forests, and a deltaic estuary. The Guadalupe Delta WMA has four units across Calhoun, Victoria, and Refugio counties.

That delta gives Calhoun a different kind of public land from a city trail. People hunt, fish, hike, and watch wildlife here. Waterfowl, shorebirds, and alligators all fit this wet place. The rules are plain: no camping, no improved trails, no airboats, and limited motor use during hunting season.

The map matters here. Calhoun County sits at the downriver edge of the Guadalupe, where freshwater marsh, bayou forest, and estuary meet.

The river does not stop at a county line. Calhoun lies inside a shared delta, and the WMA's four units carry that habitat across three counties.
