Prescribed burning, thinning, regeneration and stand improvement are some of the techniques used to enhance and maintain optimum habitat conditions. In addition, wetlands that had been cleared and converted to farmland by previous owners are being replanted to hardwoods. The visitor center is located five miles west of Crossett on U.S. Highway 82. Here the visitor can become acquainted with the National Wildlife System and the four refuges that make up the Felsenthal Refuge Complex. A 0.5 mile handicap accessible interpretative trail and a 0.5 mile unimproved trail are located at the visitor center.
Information regarding refuge regulations and current conditions are available.
There are a number of roads and trails located throughout the refuge and most are open year round. A refuge bird list, containing almost 300 species, is available. Check with the refuge staff prior to visiting since the entire area is subject to flooding. Groups are welcome. Arrangements for programs may be made by calling the refuge office.
