2024 marks 100 years since Paul J. Rainey Sanctuary was incorporated into the National Audubon Society. The 26,000-acre sanctuary includes boars, deer, alligators, and geese. Located in the southwest of Vermilion Bay, it was built in 1924 to create a safe animal habitat. The off-the-grid area is not open to the public and is accessible on boats from the center managers and Audubon Delta staff.
