Gray Lodge Wildlife Refuge attracts millions of birds annually, especially waterfowl, as they migrate along the Pacific Flyway. More than a million ducks, 100,000 geese, and thousands of other birds visit annually. Fall and winter are the best viewing times for Sandhill cranes, which arrive in late September, and Ross' and Snow Geese, which arrive in late November.

Gray Lodge is managed by the California Department of Fish and Game. This 8,400-acre facility has regularly scheduled daily tours, and group tours are available with reservations. Hunting and fishing are permitted in some areas with a permit.
