Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge
This remote but gorgeous refuge straddles old farmland and coastal areas along Galveston Bay. Though our visit was on a blustery day in December the wetlands were chock full of water birds and we even got a peek at one of the resident alligators. The drive was quite scenic, overall a great way to spend part of a day.
Directions: Anahuac NWR is approximately an hour and a half east of Houston along East Galveston Bay. Houston: Take I-10 East to Exit #812 (TX 61 or Anahuac/Hankamer exit). Head south on 61 for nearly four miles to the stop sign. Continue through. The road becomes Hwy. 562. Continue for approximately 8.5 miles to the fork in the road, which is FM 1985. At the fork, turn left and continue for an additional 4 miles to the main entrance of the refuge. Turn right on the easement road for another 3 miles. Signs will be posted.
