Trails
Over 50 miles of dirt roads and trails are closed to vehicles and available for hiking, biking, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing. Several hiking trails allow access into Moosehorn's Wilderness area, a part of the National Wilderness Preservation System. This area is managed with a "hands-off" philosophy and allows hikers to experience a rare glimpse of old growth climax forests. Near the Refuge Headquarters off Charlotte Road, The Woodcock Trail offers a handicapped accessible option as well as a self guided interpretative walk.
