MoreBeautiful experience
Its beautiful in its own way.. heads up though.. these are actual caves.. you climb into them. Some safety gear is suggested and even required for some caves. The ranger was extremely friendly and helpful. Camping was first come first serve. 10$ a night clean.. quiet.. with real bathrooms and running water.
MoreLake bed near visitor center completely dry. Sump 1B area on east side has plenty of water and birds, deer.Picnic area across road from visitor center very pleasant place to relax. The Discovery Marsh trail head, no water so no waterfowl.
MoreThere is no water therefore no birds. Otherwise is nice.
Picked the wrong time to visit, nothing going on.
Mich of the water has dried up, so there wasnt much in the way of marshes/mudflats. However, what we found in and around the refuge proved to be very productive birding.
MoreHad a great walk!
The First Refuge in America..Its sad the the Water issue has had such a huge impact and where the Migrating birds can rest during there migration..The local population has been hit hard by drought and mis appropriation of Water and funding..Still a wonderful place to visit.
MoreThe lake is dry. Not many birds
My husband and I adore this Wildlife refuge. The land is beautiful, and the wind adds a magical touch. Weve captured some incredible photos, and always enjoy visiting here. Its one of our favorite special places.
MoreVisitor center was still closed from the COVID-19 restrictions.With that being said, still worth a quick stop, very picturesque and nice views.Lots of birds, make sure you take a listen.
MoreVery beautiful sunset with many birds singing around!
Low water levels in some areas
Great place to get incredible pictures of wildlife
Short trail up to great viewpoint
This is a beautiful wildlife preserve. Its just located in desolate area but definitely worth the visit if you enjoy observing nature/ bird watching 👌
MoreGreat for birding, even at this "slower" time of year. Wish birds werent hunted here though as makes them hard to observe and photograph.
MoreAwesome adventure We will be going back
Fantastic, so many birds! Eagles, falcons, ducks
This place in the California-Oregon border has a different beauty altogether. The view of Mount Shasta is breathtaking in this sweeping landscape. Mainly a farm country, there is plenty to see and photograph. It is an winter heaven for raptors photography and landscapes. I visited for two days and already want to go back again before this winter (not much snowis passed. Just 6 hours drive from the heart of Silicone Valley, this place is a must visit for any nature lovers and enthusiasts.

Beautiful place, great for Bird watching!
Beautiful area. Lots of wildlife to see and photograph, especially if you like birds. Short drive off the main highway.
MoreBeautiful wetland with lots of birds.
We really enjoyed our visit. Saw tons of birds! Saw many interesting insects, rodents and a mule deer. We really got lost in our surroundings.
MoreCame here off season, so I didn’t get to see any eagles or anything “super super” cool however, we drove around and go to see lots of pretty birds just chilling. The amount of mosquitoes were frightening so we stayed inside the car, but we were still able to see plenty from the car. Got to great shots of birds too!
MoreDesolate and alone. Absolutel no Wildlife to hear or see except for the occasional bird over head. Altogether peaceful and Serene.
MoreNice place to stop and stretch and forget about the rest of your day. Plan on spending time here enjoying the scenery and wildlife especially the waterfowl
MoreWonderful place to visit in the wintertime if you want to see bald eagles, rough-legged hawks, ferruginous hawks and prairie falcons. It can be cold & windy so dress warm; down jacket, scarf, hat, good gloves.
MoreBeautiful scenery. Staff very friendly, helpful, and knowledge.
Friendly and informative staff. Nice displays.
