What families say

This refuge is a hit for wildlife-watching field trips—families report seeing eagles, osprey, herons, and hawks along an easy 8-mile driving loop with a walking trail option, making it great for kids interested in birds and photography (bring binoculars). Plan for bug spray, especially by mid-June, and know that the back portion of the drive can get pothole-rough, so drive carefully. It's a low-key, self-paced outing rather than a structured program, good for a morning or sunset visit with time to stop often for views.
