Texas Point Refuge Marks the County's Southeast Corner

Right at Sabine Pass, where Jefferson County meets the Gulf and the Sabine River, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service keeps Texas Point National Wildlife Refuge, about 8,900 acres of cordgrass marsh laced with bayous. It sits next to its bigger neighbor, McFaddin, and together they hold a long stretch of the county's coast in public hands.

Down here, the southeast corner of the county isn't only refineries and ship traffic. Around Sabine Pass the map opens into refuge marsh, bay water, and Gulf-facing habitat that draws waterfowl and the people who watch and hunt them.

Use the FWS Texas Point page before visiting or hunting. Access, hunt brochures, and boundaries change by season, so the refuge page is where to confirm the details.
