Plan Your Visit
Reelfoot National Wildlife Refuge is well-known for nature photography and birding. However, there are several ways to enjoy the refuge. You can explore the exhibit area at the visitor center, where you will be greeted with a smile and given information by resident volunteers. You may drive the 3.5-mile auto tour route, hike in the bottomland hardwood forest, and enjoy beautiful views from several viewing towers. If you have a kayak/canoe, you can glide across the still waters of Reelfoot Refuge on our established canoe trails.
All hunters must possess valid state hunting licenses. Be sure to also check regulations for each state and FWS location when planning your hunt. Quota hunt applications for deer are accepted in July and for turkey in January.
