Take a Hike!

All three trails start near refuge headquarters.

The Woodcock Trail

¼ mile paved, wheelchair accessible trail introduces walkers to the American woodcock.  In April and May, the trail is a great place to view its spectacular courtship flights, for which it is famous.

Snowshoe Hare

The Habitat Trail

1¼ mile wooded trail stresses how important proper habitat is for wildlife.  Markers point out signs of wildlife that might otherwise be missed.

The Bird Walk

¼ mile trail through forests rich in birds.  Over 220 species have been identified on the refuge, including 26 species of warblers alone.

50 Miles of Dirt Roads

Refuge RoadsRefuge roads are closed to private vehicles.  This makes them ideal for hiking and biking in the summer, snowshoeing and skiing during the winter.  The roads allow access to almost all parts of the refuge, passing through the habitats of all kinds of wildlife.  Maps are available at the office.

The Wilderness Area

White-tailed Deer Fawn Many people enjoy the solitude of walking through the wilderness area, where nothing mechanical is allowed.  Trails though the wilderness areas of both divisions receive minimal maintenance.  We strongly recommend hikers bring a topographical map and compass.
