Together, let's create a safer, more enjoyable environment for all refuge visitors. We are excited to announce that planning is underway for a new trail along the refuge entrance road! Currently, visitors stroll and pedal along Upper Embankment Road to reach refuge trails and county roads. Our new trail will provide a safer and more enjoyable alternative.
Your feedback is crucial in shaping the final design, and we can’t wait to hear your ideas and suggestions.
