DeSoto's self-guiding tour road access changes each year during Migration Season, October 15 - April 14th. DeSoto National Wildlife Refuge limits access to some of the refuge roads during the fall and spring waterfowl migration season. This includes the south entrance gate, as well as the south and east side of the loop road. This limited access is in effect each year from October 15-April 14.
All use of DeSoto lake, including bank fishing, boat fishing and any other boating is prohibited during this period.
