Hike the five miles of trails on the South Tract or go for a tram tour where you can delve into the subjects of management practices and wildlife habitats at the refuge.

Spend the afternoon in the National Wildlife Visitor Center where you can browse interactive exhibits and learn about subjects such as migratory bird studies, global environmental issues, endangered species, habitats and more.
