4.0 Maxwell National Wildlife Refuge (18 reviews)
- Place of Solitude
Thursday: 7:30 AM - 4:00 PM Nature & Wildlife Areas

As a volunteer, I lived onsite for 3-6months over the last 2 yrs. This is a wonderful place for birding, fishing,biking and camping. This is a place that caters to wildlife and there is an opportunity to view wildlife at every turn. The staff is very knowledgable and will give you a map to follow on foot, biking or in your car to view wildlife. I had the privilege to beable to acess the back areas where farming is done and was able to document animal/ bird sightings that have not been seen in years. The public will be able to view prairie dogs from the new viewing site and walk on a path to a blind to view sandhill cranes in the fall.There is a 3 nite 4 day camping area by the lake and boat launching ramp nearby. I encourage the public to take in this wonderland of nature and enjoy the solitude it offers. See more..
