Fern Cave National Wildlife Refuge

The refuge is open daylight hours only, year-round. 

The cave itself can only be accessed with a special use permit, due to potential disturbance of certain endangered species. 

There are lots of fun, interesting, and educational things you can do on the refuge.  Keep in mind, if an activity is not wildlife related and doesn’t help in the protection or understanding of wildlife or their habitat, there are probably refuge rules governing this activity.  Please check with the refuge management before participating in an activity that could harm the environment or yourself.  Be safe and have fun!
