Due to hurricane Rita the park
remains closed. Staff is working hard to make the necessary repairs. The park
may reopen sometime in the Fall.
History: Sea Rim State Park,
4141.1 acres of marshland with 5.2 miles of Gulf of Mexico beach shoreline, is
located in Jefferson County, south of Port Arthur.
Acquired by purchase from Planet Oil and Mineral Corporation and Horizon
Sales Corporation in 1972, Sea Rim State Park opened to the public in 1977. Sea
Rim refers to that portion of the Gulf shoreline where marsh grasses meet the
surf. These marshlands formed when silt from the Sabine River delta was carried
down the beach by longshore currents. A unique environment, Sea Rim provides a
valuable habitat for many wetland species.
Activities: Attractions include
camping, wildlife observation, birding, beach combing, the Gambusia Nature
Trail, canoeing, kayaking, airboat tours, beach swimming, fishing, year round
canoe and paddle boat rentals, and public waterfowl hunting (in season).
