Located three miles southwest of Centerville, this 5,617-acre refuge offers an unusual abundance and variety of plants and animals. The Refuge is an important resting and feeding area for waterfowl and other migrating birds. A five-mile Wildlife Drive acquaints visitors with the diverse habitats and wildlife of the Refuge. Several miles of dikes and service roads closed to public vehicles are also open for hiking. Part of the Great River State Bicycle Trail follows the Wildlife Drive. Only hand-powered craft and boats with electric motors can be used in the Refuge. Bullheads dominate, but northern pike, pan-fish and yellow perch are also found here. Portions of the Refuge are open small game and deer hunting by special permit. The entire refuge is open to snowshoeing and cross-country skiing in season. Administered by the U.S. Department of Interior Fish and Wildlife Service, Refuge Headquarters is open Monday through Friday throughout the year.
