    Enjoyed our visit

    The visitor center is exceptionally well-stocked with guides and other information. We visit a lot of NWRs and state parks and I was really impressed with what I saw. And they actually had knowledgeable volunteers manning the desk! So often there's a person who knows...More

    Interesting wildlife viewing area.

    THE visiter center is small but very nice.We love the outdoor viewing area for birds. The auto tour takes a hour or so and geese, ducks ,deer are common, occasionally river otters can be seen. Very nice refuge.

    Worth a quick day trip!

    Nothing like walking around and spending time with nature, and it's FREE! If you have extra time do some walking. Make sure you are out of the park before close as the gates I believe are automatic.

    Great place to commune with nature

    What a wonderful nature experience this was! Even though this isn't a park and so it doesn't have a lot of the usual park amenities (but yes, there are restrooms throughout), it was exactly what we wanted. My photographer husband was happy with the rustic...More

    A Gem Right On The Banks Of Sixmile Creek!

    My wife and I traveled here in June and thoroughly enjoyed the refuge. This NWR is located in south east Indiana near the town of Seymour. There is no entrance fee but I would encourage you to purchase a current Federal Duck Stamp. Any NWR...More

    Beautiful nature preserve

    This place is really beautiful, and you can drive through a lot of it. We saw baby turkeys crossing the road -- so cute! A definite place to check out when in Seymour.

    A gem off of I 65

    I happened to be in Seymour for work and wanted to stretch my legs. They have a few shorter loop trails which were perfect. I just wish I had brought my fishing pole.

    The best place to see the cranes is often on the west side of the refuge, sometimes just outside the boundary. Don't delay as they start migrating north the first of March. Stop by the visitor center and the friendly staff... More
