Trails
Four miles of trails offer access to a diversity of habitats within Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge with views of native plants and wildlife, from amphibians to mammals. The trails are relatively flat and accessible wooden boardwalks and gravel paths. Interpretive panels give a glimpse of what can be seen, or heard, along the route. Average time spent on the trails is approximately two hours but is dependent on wildlife activity and individual preference. Benches are placed on all trails except the gravel Nisqually Estuary Trail. Depending on the season and weather forecast, be prepared with raingear and water. Restrooms are located adjacent to the Norm Dicks Visitor Center, and portable toilets are placed at the Twin Barns.
