- WILDLIFE VIEWING Trinity River National Wildlife Refuge, TX
Fish and Wildlife Service Trinity River National Wildlife Refuge
was established on January 4, 1994 with an initial purchase of
4,400 acres. Since that time, the refuge has acquired additional
acreage which now totals 17,500 acres. The primary purpose of
establishing this refuge is to protect a portion of the
bottomland hardwood forest ecosystem along the Trinity River
located in southeastern Texas. The refuge, which is a remnant of
what was once a much larger natural area is a broad flat
floodplain made up of numerous sloughs, oxbow lakes, artesian
wells, and tributaries. Address:P.O. Box 10015
