Experience Mother Nature’s trifecta of waterfowl ecosystems and outdoor sporting adventures
Skyfall Reserve is North Texas’ premiere waterfowl hunting destination. However, we are much more than an outfitter.
We are your world class go-to destination for wing shooting, outdoor sporting adventures, hospitality, gourmet food, and lodging.
We want Skyfall to be your home away from home to enjoy nature and create memories.
THE RESERVE
Skyfall Reserve is the premier Texas waterfowl, dove, and white-tail deer hunting destination with 1.75 miles of Trinity River frontage near Trinidad, Texas.
The property is nestled in a prime location within the heart of East Texas, located under an hour from Dallas and Tyler, and 15 miles from Athens.
The property is also ideally situated 1.3 miles from Cedar Creek Reservoir, and less than 10 miles from the renowned Richland Creek Wildlife Management Area, which hosts some of the largest waterfowl populations in all of Texas.
Upon arriving at the main entrance, Skyfall Reserve greets its visitors with a stunning 47 acre upland landscape. It offers rolling topography and beautiful stands of Post Oaks and Black Walnut, alongside an idyllic agrarian setting.
The remaining 375 acres is a picturesque bottomland hardwood landscape, which includes strategically developed flooded timber units, extensive road systems, and food plots with deer blinds, tree stands, and feeders.
In addition to river access, the property also boasts a 31 acre private lake with custom duck blinds.
Skyfall Reserve’s ideal location, beautiful and unique natural features, and premium developments make it an extraordinary outdoor retreat.
THE HUNTING
Nothing gets us more stoked than pursuing wild game.. It’s more than just a good time for you and your companions; it’s a way to connect with mother nature, each other, and our spirit. It’s paying homage to a time passed on when people had to provide for themselves and their families, by utilizing resources on the lands and waters at their disposal.
Each day of Waterfowl hunting will include a morning and/or afternoon hunt in flooded timber, private lakes, dry grain fields, managed wetlands, watersheds, rivers or creeks.
Our target species on Waterfowl hunts consist of Dabbling Ducks (Mallards, Green and Blue-Winged Teal, Pintails, Wigeons, Gadwalls, Wood Ducks, etc...)
Most hunts will provide the opportunity to take multiple species of some or all of the above. We typically hunt out of custom built blinds, A-frame blinds, layouts or pits.
Each day at Skyfall Reserve is up to you! Depending on the season, you can choose to hunt Dove, Waterfowl, Upland birds, shoot the 5-stand range or just relax and enjoy the lodge and company of your guests.
Our team works tirelessly to make every day in the field at Skyfall Reserve a day you will never forget!
