Perhaps the fastest growing activity on national wildlife refuges is wildlife photography. You don't need to purchase expensive equipment or have any experience to get started. A small camera or basic cell phone will do just fine for most visitors.
Hewitt Lake NWR provides many opportunities to capture a true representation of "Big Sky" Montana and the wildlife that resides here. Early morning visits will capture a glorious sunrise and the sunsets will provide a memorable experience.
