Welcome to Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge

Our office and visitor center is located at the edge of Bluff Lake northwest of Brooksville, northeast of Louisville, and south of Starkville, Mississippi. The Refuge managers and staff are responsible for managing the 48,000-acre Noxubee Refuge (pronounced Nox' u bee), located in east-central Mississippi. The Refuge serves as a resting and feeding area for migratory birds and as an example of proper land stewardship. Also, the Refuge is extensively managed for the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker.

We invite you to read our brochures about the Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge. You can hike any of our trails and learn about visitor activities, including hunting and fishing. You may also browse our bird list and seasonal opportunities to view wildlife . While you are here, we invite you to learn how duck stamps are used to acquire important habitat for waterfowl and other migratory birds. A map is available to help you visualize the Refuge lay-out.

We look forward to having you visit our Refuge Visitor Center and hope that you can find time to visit with us whenever your travels bring you this way.
