Duck hunting yrs ago. Green Castle Rd, becomes the bridge. Unsafe for decades. They blocked it off w/ debris. I see newcomers hate the lack of nice paved rds, parking lots. & toilets? This is a Wildlife Natural area. If you build a McD's & gas station, it will not be "natural". It is NOT a state park.

A 5 for the bird species, a 1 for accessibility. Nothing but badly maintained roads that have very few places to park. No visitors center. You couldn't even get to a decent place to view anything. I'm not talking about people being able to crowd up on the wildlife, I'm talking from a quarter mile away. There is a bridge that goes over an area that was magnificent, or would be if there was a small spot on either side where you could park or stand or walk.

The view out here is great along with a pretty fair set of shooting ranges, nicely managed ranges for pistols and rifles then a small clay range and a bow range. The main road skirts the river and has a tendency to flood in the spring however there is a work around detour that the DNR will post signs for.

Had a good time duck hunting. A lot of birds were on the refuge with a few to be had over the public hunting area.

Planning a visit, but reviews mention shooting ranges. Isn't this a wildlife refuge?

The shooting range is off hunting grounds. Circle it once. you will be able to see where things are at easily.
