Sargent

**Important Notice:** The Sargent boat ramp is currently **closed and inaccessible** to both vehicle and vessel traffic. Please do not attempt to launch from this location, as access has been restricted for safety reasons.

**Alternative Access:** If you're planning to paddle or boat in the Matagorda County area, consider seeking alternative launch points along the Intracoastal Waterway. The region offers access to diverse paddling environments, including proximity to San Bernard National Wildlife Refuge (established 1968) and Big Boggy National Wildlife Refuge (established 1983), both featuring salt marsh and coastal habitats ideal for kayaking and wildlife observation. Local bait and tackle shops in the area can provide current information about open access points and conditions on the ICW, East Matagorda Bay, and Gulf waters.
