Refuge lands are accessible year round. Acceptable outdoor uses include: hunting, fishing, nature photography, wildlife observation and boating (10hp motor limit). Refuge hunting and fishing seasons generally follow state seasons and regulations. It is important to note that a signed hunting refuge permit is required and must to be on your person while hunting on refuge property. This permit is free and located on the Refuge Hunting and Fishing brochure; additional information and refuge specific regulations are also described in this publication. Cypress Creek National Wildlife Refuge Hunting and Fishing brochures are available at the Refuge office, outdoor kiosks and downloadable here.
