Short-term Full Public Access Closure at Sacramento NWR:
Starting Monday July 14, there will be an estimated three-week full closure of the Sacramento NWR to the public (no access to the auto tour, visitor center, bathrooms and trails) while construction crews replace a culvert under the entrance road. Please visit other parts of our Refuge Complex during this time, and check back here or on social media to know when the Sacramento NWR is back open to the public.
On-going Construction at Sacramento NWR:
The entrance road, visitor center parking lot, and north-side walking trails will be under construction starting June 16 through mid-October. When the refuge is open to the public, thank you for driving slowly, following all flaggers directing traffic, and honoring any closures while this important work is completed this summer.
Walking Trail Closure at Sacramento NWR:
Starting Monday July 14, the north-side compacted gravel walking trail will be closed to the public while construction crews replace the walking surface. This project is expected to be completed by mid-October. The south-side vegetated walking trail will remain open.
