Wildlife Viewing
For your orientation to the refuge, we suggest stopping at the Visitor Center.
Here you will find current information and wildlife sightings, displays, videos,
and a bookstore. Hours are Monday through Friday 7:30 am to 4:00 pm and weekends
from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm year round.
The 15-mile auto tour loop allows visitors to enjoy wildlife viewing and
photography. Wildlife here is accustomed to visitors and may be closely observed
from vehicles, which serve as photo blinds. The refuge tour route is open
from one hour before
sunrise to one hour after sunset every day of the year.
The Seasonal Tour Road is open April through September. This is an excellent
place to observe shorebirds and waders. During the winter, this area is reserved
as a roost area for eagles and cranes. Vehicles must remain on established
roads that are open to the public and out of designated wilderness areas.
