General Guides

Behind the gates you sometimes find the best hiking, cycling, and wildlife observation. You are welcome to explore any of the former logging roads, but please do not block the gate with your car in case a refuge vehicle or equipment needs access. Most are mowed regularly. Ticks and winged biting insects can be abundant.
During hunting season, non-hunters are free to access the Refuge and can do so safely by following these basic guidelines from Andrew Gude, Refuge manager:
