Welcome to the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge Complex, located
approximately 90 miles north of the city of Sacramento. The Complex consists of five national wildlife
refuges (NWR) and three wildlife management areas (WMA)
that comprise over 35,000 acres of wetlands and uplands in the Sacramento
Valley of California. In addition, there are over 30,000 acres of conservation
easements in the Complex. The Refuges and easements serve as resting and
feeding areas for nearly half the migratory birds on the Pacific Flyway.
Visitor Information:
Enjoy a sneak peak of our winter residents! Located in northern California's Sacramento Valley, the Sacramento NWR Complex helps provide habitat (resting and feeding areas) for more than 40 percent of the Pacific Flyway's wintering waterfowl. More than three million ducks and one million geese migrate to the Sacramento Valley every fall.
