Four District Offices work together to manage the refuge, coordinated by our Headquarters Office based in Winona, MN. If you have questions about a specific site on the refuge, please reach out to the District closest to where you'd like to visit. If you're not sure, please contact the La Crosse District Visitor Center where staff will help direct your call. The quickest way to reach us is by phone at (608)-779-2399 or email at uppermississippiriver@fws.gov. Office and Visitor Hours may vary so we recommend calling ahead to ensure they are open.
