Bayou Sauvage Urban National Wildlife Refuge

Saw some bird, ducks and lizards. We went in February, not so much to see. The beginning there were a few wasp. Has signs with info, all and all it was nice to walk around. I would say it’s about less than a mile long. If you want to see the Castle, you need to cross or park across the street.

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.

4 stars for Ridge Trail board walk, 0 for Joe Midair unit. Joe Midair unit, which was my favorite place in the country to photograph birds in and around water. Weeds were not controlled after a drought, so I couldn't see the water, much less the birds. Now the boardwalk has been torn down!!! 😫

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

Beautiful place and if you get the opportunity to see it from the air it gives you a whole new level of respect for the area. I was fortunate enough to be able to experience it from up above and the ground level!
