Creef Cut Wildlife Trail and Fishing Area
This trail is fully handicapped accessible. A half-mile paved trail leads to a 50 foot boardwalk with an observation platform that overlooks Creef Moist Soil Unit and a 250 foot boardwalk over a freshwater marsh. Look for waterfowl during the winter months, black bear, woodpeckers and birds of prey. At the beginning of the trail, behind the intrepretive kiosk, is a handicapped accessible fishing dock. All are welcome to fish here; however, the dock is designated "handicapped priority". Fish are naturally replenished from South Lake.
Milltail Creek Canoe and Kayak Trails Perhaps the best way to see the refuge is by water. Canoes, kayaks or small motor boats may be launched from the south end of Buffalo City Road. Four trails, totalling 15 miles, have color-coded markers to guide visitors through remote waterways where a variety of wildlife and habitat types can be viewed.
Sandy Ridge Wildlife Trail A more rustic trail that is designed to meet the needs of visitors seeking a more adventuresome walk. Rough wooden pallets have been laid to assit you through the wetter areas; however, count on getting your feet wet and muddy. The trail dead-ends one-half mile from it's beginning. It wanders through Atlantic white cedar stands and by beaver cuttings, wood duck boxes and prothonotary warbler nesting areas. Keep your eyes peeled for rare sun dews. During the winter months you might even hear the howl of a red wolf.
