Driving Directions

Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge is open year-round during daylight hours (dawn to dusk). There is a $3.00 per car fee charged during the months of March through October. Winter months have free admission.
Turnbull NWR is a wildlife sanctuary in the sense that no hunting or fishing is allowed and public access is limited to a 2,200 acre Public Use Area. The remaining portions of the Refuge are preserved as a wildlife sanctuary, with disturbance even by refuge staff kept to a minimum.

You will find excellent wildlife viewing opportunities in the Public Use Area with its numerous trails that loop through wetlands and pine forest habitats. There is also the 5.5-mile Auto Tour Route that you drive, bike, or walk to access scenic views of the refuge environment as well as short trails and a wheelchair accessible boardwalk which loops to the edge of beautiful Blackhorse Lake.
