Wildlife Observation

Wildlife observation and photography is only allowed in areas open to the general public.

Refuge regulations prohibit any harassment of wildlife. Harassment includes (but is not limited to), causing wildlife to flush or run or to leave its nest or young. Many opportunities are available to view and photograph wildlife from the roads.

Some wildlife (i.e., moose and elk with calves) are potentially dangerous. All observations or photographs of these animals should be taken from a distance. Wildlife here has not acclimated to humans, as in many National Parks. If these species feel threatened or startled, they may run (which is harassment) or they may attack. For your safety, please use extreme caution.
