It was a Wendy Sat. We still try to fish had a great time. And just enjoying the time we had. Already going back on Memorial Day.

Great place to enjoy outdoors and hopefully some wildlife. You do need a parking permit but a day pass is not expensive.

Great place to go out and be in nature. The new paved trail/sidewalk is awesome to skate on!!! Let's go roller skating!❤️🌿

I’m in love with this wildlife refuge. It’s been a source of growth, healing, and ...well, refuge. It’s well maintained and staffed with friendly people. We live a couple miles away and frequently visit the refuge. We take the kayaks, the boat to ski, we fish, we hike the trails, and we communicate with nature. It’s glorious.

No. Just a fishing license.

Is this drive thru or walking
