Visit Us

Eufaula National Wildlife Refuge offers an eight-mile wildlife drive that meanders through upland and wetland habitats in the Upland and Houston Units of the refuge off of Alabama Hwy. 285. Along the auto route, a wildlife-viewing platform and observation tower allow visitors increased opportunities to view the various habitat types and associated wildlife. Visitors also may hike and bike along the wildlife drive. A one-third mile walking trail near the main entrance winds through the woods, over a creek and along the edge of longleaf pine restoration sites.

Restrooms are available during business days and hours at the refuge headquarters.  Restrooms also are available at adjacent state parks.
