Bayou Sauvage Urban National Wildlife Refuge

Beautiful boardwalks through various wetlands. Plants are labeled so I learned something new. Year round access. Great experience.

Beautiful place, just sad that law enforcement can keep thugs from dumping trash and burning cars! Just sad.

Great walking trails in wildlife area.

Nothing much to see during December. We only saw one rabbit and that’s about it. Restoration work was on going but it could be really nice place if it’s done nicely. There wasn’t restroom available when we went in December 2022.

Absolutely gorgeous views from the levee entering Little Irish Bayou. While you're there stop by the gas station at I-10 for drinks and grab a taco from the man in a taco truck... Delicious authentic tacos!

I have stopped here the 3 times I have been in the area. I have seen gators all three times at the boat ramp off hwy 10. I loved the boardwalk as well

Truly beautiful location where you can experience local southern Louisiana fauna and flora. The sunsets are amazing and the regal oaks covered in Spanish moss seem timeless.

Very cute place to stop and look at nature. Loved getting to see the baby alligators and the flowers. Be mindful, no fences or gates. Use common sense when coming close to the water. This is the wildlife's territory and we should respect that.
