Washita National Wildlife Refuge
Established in 1961, Washita National Wildlife Refuge is one of more than 540 refuges throughout the United States managed by the Fish and Wildlife Service. The National Wildlife Refuge System is the only national system of lands dedicated to conserving our wildlife heritage for people today and for generations yet to come. Washita NWR lies on the upper end of Foss Reservoir and provides a feeding and resting area for migrating and wintering waterfowl and sandhill cranes.
