Field guides will help with identification of wildlife and wildflowers. When hiking, take drinking water, compass and a companion. Be aware of sunset times. Respect people who may also be enjoying the Refuge. If you are too loud, you will ruin everyone's opportunity for natural, relaxed observations and photographs.
Stewardship takes many forms, but in essence, it's an ethic.
Respect your Refuge and the people and animals it hosts. There are over 22,400 acres of wildlife habitat open for hiking, observing wildlife, photography and other recreational uses. Picnicking is available at four locations, three hiking trails are established, and over 40 miles of paved roads will help you access the Public Use portion of the Refuge. Camping at Doris Campground includes primitive to electric hookup sites. A modern shower facility and clean restrooms are provided there.
