New! For Educators!
Apply for your school field trip for the fall semester today! First come, first served, while supplies last.
The trails are nicely mowed, summer tanagers and painted buntings seem to call from every tree. It is a great time to visit the refuge! The North low water crossing is open, cross at your own risk (the concrete divider is submerged) The Bennet Road water crossing is also open and a bit more shallow. |
