GET WILD!!

Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge is open to public use year round. Though remote and relatively inaccessible, the Refuge offers a challenge to the adventurous outdoor enthusiast who chooses to venture there. Birders, photographers, and lovers-of-the-outdoors find the Refuge intriguing, but difficult in which to maneuver. There's something for every outdoor adventurer on Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge.Whether you enjoy birding, watching black bears, fishing, hunting, driving to observe wildlife, paddling, walking on wildlife trails, or howling up red wolves, you'll love this refuge!

The best time to visit is during the cooler weather, when the insects are less active and some of our more lively reptiles are more dormant!
