Refuge trails, boardwalks, and kiosks provide family-friendly wildlife viewing areas. The refuge has few hills, so all trails have very little elevation-gain, offering easy walks without losing any of the nature-experience opportunities.  Combined, the current Refuge units (Arbuckle, Hatchineha, and ​Kissimmee Bend​) have over 30 miles of trails that are open to the public ​at some parts of the year. ​For specific rules and regulations of these opportunities, please reference:
