Take a 2021 Staycation at Cattail Marsh Scenic Wetlands & Boardwalk

Come enjoy some warm and beautiful scenes of the natural beauty in our own backyard, Cattail Marsh Scenic Wetlands, with our two guest hosts:  Christina Lokey, Director of Marketing, and John Beaver, Ecotourism Development Coordinator, both with the Beaumont Convention & Visitors Bureau.

 

"Cattail Marsh includes 900-acres of wetlands and offers a variety of recreational activities with a new boardwalk and more than eight miles of gravel levee roads for jogging, hiking, biking, horseback riding, bird watching and wildlife photography along the banks of Hildebrandt Bayou and Willow Marsh Bayou. Cattail Marsh is a wildlife refuge for a variety of aquatic mammals and more than 250 species of birds annually, including: pelicans, egrets, roseate spoonbills, ducks, ibis, doves and red-winged blackbirds."

Christina and John will share the story of this beautiful natural refuge, how it was created and developed into the great tourist attraction that it is.  They will tell us about the many opportunities and events you can enjoy - from kids crafts to yoga classes - that are available inside the Education Center.
