Wildlife watching over river from boat through spotting scope

Excellent wildlife viewing, particularly for eagles, osprey, and great blue herons, is available from all points of the water surrounding the refuge. Once on the island, the three-miles of trails and boardwalks further your observation opportunities to more terrestrial species- mammals, reptiles, and invertebrates. A fifteen foot tall observation platform supports high bluff views over the river and sweeping landscape vistas of the island. Please remember to keep a safe distance from wildlife so as to not disturb them from their natural routines. Feeding of wildlife is strictly prohibited.
