Old Buckley Road Trail
Old Buckley Road is open to the public from sunrise to sunset daily. East of the Refuge, the former Buckley Road, is closed to motorized traffic and can be used for walking and bicycling. This three mile stretch is a great place for wildlife observation through the Refuge fence. Signage and trail surface improvements are planned for the future.
