COVID-19 Response: In our effort to open responsibly, access to restrooms and other facilities will be limited at all sanctuary locations. Please be mindful that Houston Audubon trails are narrower than many state and federal parks. Visitors are strongly advised to adhere to social distancing practices and use face masks to reduce the chances of coronavirus transmission. Some sanctuaries have special restrictions. Please check COVID-19 Response page for details.
