Bone Hill

This limited-interest national wildlife refuge is not Federal land. A private landowner or other entity controls public access to it.

Bone Hill National Wildlife Refuge is a limited-interest refuge in North Dakota where the land remains in private or state ownership rather than being federally owned. Established in the 1930s and 1940s, these refuges consist of conservation easements granted by landowners to protect wildlife habitat while supporting local water conservation. Today, these lands continue to protect wildlife and habitat. Because the land is not federal, access is controlled by the private landowner or other entity, not the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The refuge is managed through the Kulm Wetland Management District according to a Comprehensive Conservation Plan.
