Lake Mary Boardwalk Project
Starting Monday, June 3 work begins at Lake Mary to demolish and construct a new boardwalk and two fishing piers. The project is anticipated to take 4-5 months. Portions of the Lake Mary trail and fishing access will be closed temporarily throughout the project. We appreciate your patience and know visitors will enjoy the new boardwalk and piers once the project is complete.
Take the Refuge's 11-mile Wildlife Drive in your vehicle to see bison, deer, hawks, waterfowl and more! Along the way there are parking lots near trail heads to hike the more than 10 miles of trails.
