Park Overview
Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge - haven for migratory birds and other wildlife, lies on the Big Mineral Arm of Lake Texoma, on the Red River between Oklahoma and Texas. The refuge is made up of water, marsh and
upland habitat and visitors can hike, observe wildlife, hunt, fish at various times throughout the year.
The main focus at Hagerman NWR is providing a winter home for thousands of waterfowl. Foremost among the waterfowl are Canada geese. During fall, winter and
spring, numbers can reach 7,500 or more. Other geese include white-fronted and snow geese, with a scattering of the smaller Ross geese.
Trails
Hiking
The interpretive Crow Hill Trail, off Silliman Road, offers a close look at native prairie habitat. Hiking/foot access is restricted only during hunting seasons. Hikers should watch for poisonous snakes. Insect repellant is suggested during warm weather as protection from ticks and chiggers.
Fishing and Hunting
Fishing
Fishing in Lake Texoma is permitted year-round in accordance with state regulations, during daylight hours only. To protect waterfowl, fishing in refuge ponds is allowed only from April through September. Trot lines may not be attached to any fixed objects (jug-to-jug only). Fishing from bridges is prohibited.
Hunting Dove, Quail, Squirrel and
Rabbit Hunting
Small game hunting is by shotgun only. No shell with larger than No. 4 shot size permitted. No rifles or handguns are permitted. Dogs may be used during the hunt, but must be under the control of the handler at all times.
Hunt Days Dove hunting is permitted from September 1 to September 30. Quail hunting is permitted from February 1 to the end of the state season. Squirrels and rabbits may be hunted during both the dove and quail hunts.
Hunt Areas The hunting area will be posted as "Public Hunting Area." Hunters must check in and out at the self-permitting check boxes.
Permits Each hunter must have a permit. Permits are self-issued at check boxes located at the entrances to the hunt areas. Take a permit card, fill in the left side, tear it off and place it in the box. The right half is your permit. Fill it in on completion of your hunt and place the permit in the same box before leaving the hunt area.
This hunt is strictly recreational. Population control is not an objective.
