Hiking is a popular activity at St. Catherine Creek National Wildlife Refuge. A relaxing form of entertainment and a great form of exercise, the trail offers an up close glimpse of various wildlife species and habitats.
This trail consists of a 3.6 mile hardwood forest trail. The hills on this trail provide a good source of exercise, while the rookery provides an excellent observation point, as it is a haven for nesting waterfowl. The entrance to the trail is located .8 mile from the headquarters office off of Pintail Lane. Visitors are greeted by an information center, which includes general refuge information and maps, regulations, and wildlife observation lists. Click here for a trail map.
A few of the wildlife species usually observed on this walk will include whitetail deer, turkey, songbirds, squirrels, chipmunks, armadillos, etc. Depending on the time of year you may also encounter various snakes. Visitors are encouraged to use caution whenever entering wooded areas.
