Stringfellow WMA Is Bottomland Forest on the San Bernard
Tucked along County Road 316 near the town of Brazoria, the Nannie M. Stringfellow Wildlife Management Area covers about 3,666 acres of coastal bottomland hardwood forest in the San Bernard River floodplain. This is the wooded, river-bottom side of Brazoria County, a contrast to the salt marsh and beach most visitors picture.
Because it sits in the floodplain, TPWD notes the area floods often, and the forest is valuable cover for neotropical migratory songbirds passing through the Gulf coast. The land came to TPWD in recent years as part of a coastal bottomlands mitigation effort.
Stringfellow is not an open-gate park. TPWD lists it as open for special hunts only, so check the WMA page before planning any visit, hunt application, or wildlife-viewing trip — and bring water, bug spray, and waterproof boots if you do get access.
