At Coldwater River National Wildlife Refuge
Although the refuge is closed to hiking, visitors have a good view of wildlife from the observation tower located on the north end of the refuge.
To visit the tower, turn from Highway 332 in Crowder, MS on to Quitman Avenue. The refuge tower will be 4 1/2 miles down the road on our right.
GPS coordinates to the tower: 34.106093, -90.136549
The most commonly seen wildlife are waterfowl, wading birds and shorebirds, including over 10,000 birds during the peak of the winter season. White-tailed deer, raccoons, and other mammals may also be seen, as they are attracted to the water in the moist soil units.
