A variety of wildlife and evidence of ongoing research here can be seen along the way. Tickets can be purchased in the bookstore. Although designed to accommodate the human visitor, the National Wildlife Visitor Center continues to maintain the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's mission to conserve, protect, and enhance fish and wildlife and their habitats. As a visitor, it becomes your responsibility to ensure that wildlife has a place to grow and survive for future generations by respecting Visitor Center regulations and obeying posted signs. Please stay on marked trails to prevent erosion, disturbance of wildlife habitat, and research that is being done throughout the area.
Hiking trails are for pedestrians only.
Recreational activities are not permitted on the entrance and exit roads and in the parking lot. Help protect and preserve our wildlife and its habitat. Please do not damage any plants or trees. Removal of wildlife or plants from the refuge or introduction of new species is not permitted. Recreational activities such as camping, open campfires, cross country skiing, picnicking, ball playing, and sun bathing are not related to our wildlife management goals, and are not permitted.
