Come prepared to pick a spot and watch all that will pass your way.

Environmental education and interpretative programs are scheduled seasonally based upon staff availability. Check the home page of the refuge website for the current Calendar of Events.

Lake Drummond is a special place for boating and fishing.  Ask anyone that has ever spent a day wandering along the shore line between the ancient cypress trees.  Access to the Lake can be from either the east, through Chesapeake, or from the west, through Suffolk.

Hunting on the refuge occurs on selected days in October and November each year.  There is a 12 day white tail deer hunt and a 6 day american black bear hunt.  The two hunts occur at the same time. Check the current year's hunt schedule for exact hunt days. Each hunt requires a special refuge hunt permit as well as the appropriate state hunting licenses and tags.
