Four federal and state wildlife refuges and sanctuaries are an integral part the Creole Nature Trail All American Road. They are environmental treasures of great beauty and remarkable complexity waiting to be discovered and enjoyed.

Each offers unique opportunities to experience these carefully preserved natural environments that play such an important role in North America’s wildlife eco-system. You can learn all about each of these refuges by selecting a refuge name on the left, or you can view the complete Creole Nature Trail brochure as a flipbook here.

SWLA Refuge Complex
Cameron Prairie, Sabine and Lacassine National Wildlife Refuges make up three of the four refuges administered by the Southwest Louisiana NWR Complex. Cameron Prairie Headquarters serves as the headquarters for this unit.

Sabine, Cameron Prairie and Lacassine NWRs share a common mission to preserve and maintain wintering habitat for waterfowl.
