There are no hiking trails in Togiak Refuge, so visitors will need to be capable of backcountry orienteering using maps and compasses. Some rivers that are less sought after by sportfishers offer great scenic beauty and a true wilderness experience. Togiak Refuge rivers generally do not have whitewater, but many sweepers and high water flow are hazards to be aware of. Many of the outfitters which rent gear to anglers have rafts and other watercraft suited for area rivers.
Air travel can also be a great way to see the refuge.
From your vantage point high above the mosquitos, you can see winding channels of rivers and streams, some dammed by beavers, huge stretches of tundra or brushy wetlands, and snow-capped mountains. You may even see some of the wildlife the refuge was set aside to protect. The operation of aircraft at altitudes and in flight paths resulting in the herding, harassment, hazing, or driving of wildlife is prohibited. Pilots are asked to contact Togiak Refuge prior to visiting to learn about suitable landing areas, regulations, and other relevant topics.
