Watchable Wildlife Area & Restroom

The outdoor Warbler Woodland Watchable Wildlife Area, located on the southeast side of Arrowwood Lake, is a popular wildlife viewing area and offers an outdoor public restroom. Over 20 species of warblers and numerous other songbird species have been observed in this woodland. Waterfowl and shorebirds can also be observed along the lakeshore in this vicinity. 

Photo Blinds

Two grouse viewing blinds located adjacent to leks (the area where grouse congregate and display during mating season) offer great opportunities to view and capture the peculiar courtship rituals of sharp-tailed grouse from late March through early May. Blinds may be reserved by calling the refuge office during normal business hours.
