2024 / 2025 Waterfowl Blind Information
Stone Lakes NWR Blind Information
Notice: Mobility Impaired Blind is CLOSED for 2024/25 due to damage
Availability and conditions of blinds vary throughout the season. Chest waders are needed as hunters may be wading through some swales. Plan ahead. Hunters are responsible for bringing additional camouflage as available natural cover may be limited at individual blinds, or 'brushing' may deteriorate as the season progresses.
