Visit Us
National wildlife refuges offer us all a chance to unplug from the stresses of daily life and reconnect with our natural surroundings. You may enjoy watching waterfowl from the viewing tower that overlooks flooded agricultural fields in the winter, or just driving through the quiet roads which lead to the Mississippi River during the summer. If you have a kayak or canoe, you can glide over the still waters of Champion Lake or Sunk Lake. In today’s hustle and bustle world, experiencing quietness and simply enjoying nature goes a long way.

About Us
The Lower Hatchie NWR was established in 1980 as an inviolate sanctuary, or for any other management purpose, for migratory birds. Lower Hatchie Refuge is located at the confluence of the Hatchie and Mississippi Rivers in Lauderdale and Tipton Counties in west Tennessee. The refuge encompasses the lower reaches of the Hatchie River and consists of bottomland hardwoods, moist-soil units, agricultural fields, and associated uplands. The large forested tracts, open lands, and aquatic features found on the refuge provide an important ecological niche for fish, wildlife, and plant species.
