Audubon National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center

The Audubon National Wildlife Refuge—named after 19th-century wildlife painter and naturalist John James Audubon—offers more than 14,000 acres of mixed-grass prairie and wetlands around Lake Audubon. The center exhibits prairie wetland and grassland habitat, migratory birds, night life of the refuge, John James Audubon, and Refuge history.

“An 8-mile gravel auto tour route begins near the visitor center and winds along the scenic south shoreline of Lake Audubon. Highlights include views of the lake, prairie wetlands, grasslands, and opportunities to observe many species of birds, mammals, and plants.

Spring and fall migration are peak times to observe large concentrations of birds on Lake Audubon and in adjacent wetlands. An auto tour route brochure interprets signs along the way.”
