The Lee Metcalf National Wildlife Refuge is located in the beautiful Bitterrot Valley, cradled between the Bitterroot Mountain Range on the west and Sapphire Mountain Range on the east. Bounded on the west by the Bitterroot River, the refuge setting is truly spectacular. Although small by refuge standards, the 2800-acre refuge is managed to crate a variety of habitats that are rich with abundant and diverse plants and animals. Osprey, bald eagles, cormorants and several species of ducks, geese and swans inhabit refuge ponds. The river bottom woodlands have mostly black cottonwood, ponderosa pine, alder, willow and other lowland plants. The Bitterroot River Recreation Area features over 2 miles of nature trails and a picnic area with accessible tables, pavilion, grill and outhouse.
